In conclusion, it may be remarked, that while greater special 

 attention to the freshwater forms would probably have produced 

 a few more species, nevertheless that department of the flora of 

 Danish Greenland cannot be otherwise than limited, on account 

 of the peculiar conditions of the region — the interior being at all 

 seasons a frozen waste, and merely a narrow line along the shores 

 presenting streams and pools of fresh water, with here and there 

 a few springs. 



(VII.) Fungi. By Worthington George Smith, F.L.S., 

 London. 



[The species of Fungi found in an Arctic country like Green- 

 land can be but few, and it being almost impossible to preserve 

 them in a condition fit for after study and determination caused 

 me to be less anxious than otherwise I might have been to pay 

 much attention to their collection. The extraordinary heat and 

 dryness of the summer of 1867 were not favourable for the 

 growth of this order of plants. Mr. Smith has, however, been 

 able to identify with some certainty nearly all of the species 

 which I brought home. — B. B.]
