Short Notes about the affinities of the Flora. 
As far as I have been able to ascertain, the flora of N. W. Green- 
land includes a number of 108 flowering plants and ferns, or 7 less than 
that of Ellesmereland. There besides are 14 more recorded, which, how- 
ever, almost certainly are not really members of the flora of our area.
