tosum, Stereodon revolutus, Cephalozia bicuspidata v. cavifoUa, 

 C. divaricata, Blepharostoma trichophyllum, Jungermannia 

 quinc[nedentata, J. alpestris, J. Kunzeana, Cesia concinnata 

 and Sphagnum fimbriatum f. orthodada. 



Widely distributed in the moss-cover grew: Ranunculus 

 pygmœus, R. nivalis, R. hyperboreus, Saxifraga stellaris v. 

 comosa, Salix arctica, Koenigia, Luzula confusa, Eriophorum 

 Scheiichzeri, Carex rariflora, C. scirpoidea, Poa pratensis and 

 Phippsia algida. 



On the inner parts of the step-flats, and in spots where 

 the margin was convex the humidity was present in far lesser 

 quantities and localized in brooks. Here was found luxuriant 

 heather-moor consisting of: 



Cassiope tetragona, Vaccinium, Empetrum, Stellaria longipes, 

 Draba hirta, D. nivalis, Saxifraga tricuspidata, Pedicularis 

 hirsuta, Pyrola grandiflora. Campanula rotundifolia, Antennaria 

 alpina, Carex nardina, С rupestris and Woodsia ilvensis. 



Between the high-mountain of Cape Dalton and the moun- 

 tains behind is found a low mountain range, which the weathering 

 has covered with sand and gravel and strown with broken stones 

 and concretions. It was very dry, without snow and water- 

 courses, and bore a very sparse rocky-flat formation consisting 

 of Dryas odopetala v. minor, Alsine biflora, Silène acaulis, 

 Erigeron uniflorus, Luzula confusa, Carex nardina, Trisetum 

 and Poa glauca. At one place, where some small, weathered 

 crags protruded, a little above the gravel was one, abt. 1 metre 

 long, bush of Ardostaphylos alpina, and at another spot one 

 half as big specimen of Saxifraga tricuspidata, but elsewhere 

 coherent plant-cover was wanting totally, arid there were several 

 metres between the separate tufts. 



Up the side of the mountain to the west of this area, the 

 vegetation was a far more luxuriant rocky-flat formation formed 

 by: Potentilla maculata, P. nivea. Silène^ Alsine verna, Cera- 

 stium alpinum. Arenaria ciliata, Pedicularis lapponica, P.
