lacea, which in the checks Hes in irregular folds of abt. 7 mm 

 height (see fig. 8). 



The inmost part of the flats, which is highest located, is 

 very much washed out, and here the loose layers of soil con- 

 sist of sand and gravel, which is nearly bare and drifts a 

 little ; here are only found a few decumbent, highly windworn 

 individuals of Salix groenlmidica (with Melampsora arctica) 

 Silène and Elyna Bellardi. 



In crevices and upon ledges as well as upon the rocks is 

 found a powerful vegetation consisting of: 



Dryas octopetala^ PotentiUa pulchella f. elatior, P. nivea, 

 Empetrum, Silène, Melandrium triflorum, Stellaria longipes, 

 Cerastium alpinum, Arenaria ciliata, Lesquerella arctica, Saxi- 

 fraga oppositifolia f. pulvinata, Rhodiola, Arctostaphylos al- 

 pina, Pedicularis hirsuta, Taraxacum phymatocarpum , Erige- 

 ron uniflorus, Arnica alpina, Polygonum^), Salix glauca, Be- 

 tula nana, Luzula spicata, Carex incurva, Poa alpina, P. 

 glauca f. elatior, P. pratensis, and Cystopteris fragilis. 



Finally Glyceria vilfoidea, G. ayigustata, Stellaria humi- 

 fusa, Coclilearia officinalis v. groenlandica, and Carex ursina 

 grow near the sea. 



Jameson Land of Fame Islands (Chr. Kruuse). 



From Vargodden towards Nathorst Fjæld extends a 

 low sandy flat crossfurrowed by the delta arms of the streams 

 and by dry, abandoned ditches ; it is evidently a marine terrace, 

 the building up of which is still being continued, an extensive 

 flat with 15cm of water (and more), which is partly dry at 

 low water, stretching outside the present, feebly marked coastline. 

 Its demarkation towards the deep water is distinctly marked 



Very much injured by Puccinia septentrionalis and Sphaerella hydro- 

 piperis.
