land; and also for drawing conclusions about the causes of the simili- 
tudes and differences between them, when compared with one another 
or with the floras of adjacent lands. Before I enter into any further 
discussion, I think it best to insert one more table, which may also be 
of use in the following pages. It gives some particulars concerning the 
distribution of species within N. W. Greenland. 
Each of the districts principally investigated, has here got its column, 
marked as follows: 
Y = Cape York (including Bushnan Island, Ivsugigsok, and Cape Dudley 
Digges). 
W = Wolstenholme Sound (including Wolstenholme, Dalrymple and Saun- 
ders Islands, and Granville Bay). 
C = Carey Islands. 
= Inglefield Gulf (Burdin Bay, Whale Sound, Northumberland and 
Hakluyt Island, and coast to Cape Robertson). 
F = Foulke Fjord. 
R = Renselear Bay. 
B = Bessels Bay and other localities in Washington Land. 
P = Polaris Bay (Hall Land). 
N = the northernmost parts. 
In this table I have also inserted the doubtful species which are, 
however, not taken into consideration in the following.
