74 H. G. SIMMONS. [SEC. ARCT. EXP. FRAM 
The poppy seems to be a very common plant throughout the area, 
and is found up to the farthest point where any plants have been 
collected. 
Occurrence. S. Bushnan Island (Ross, SurHeRLAND); Cape York 
(Hart, Stein, WETHERILL); Ivsugigsok (NatTHorsT); Wolstenholme Sound 
{INGLEFIELD), Agpa (Saunders Island) and Umanak (Battie), Wolsten- 
holme Island (MeeHan), Granville Bay (Mytius Ericusen); Inglefield Gulf: 
Northumberland Island (Stein), Burdin Bay (INGLEFiEeLp), Cape Acland, 
Fan Glacier, Bowdoin Bay, Glacier Valley at Cape Robertson (WetuHeEr- 
iLL), M’Cormick Bay (MeeHan); Cape Alexander (Hayes); Foulke Fjord 
(Hart, 200, 1885); Rensselaer Harbour and Mary Minturn River (Kang). 
N. Lafayette Bay (Kane); Bessels Bay and Hannah Island (Hart); Hall 
Land (Bessets); Polaris Bay (Hart); Lockwood Island (Lockwoop). 
Ranunculaceae. 
Ranunculus affinis, R. Br. 
f. affinis, Simmons, Fl. Ellesm. 
This species was never found in North-Western Greenland before 
my second visit to Foulke Fjord; but as it was known from the north- 
eastern coast and also from one single locality! on the west side (Ar- 
salik at N. Isortok Fjord, collected by Kornerup), there was good reason 
for keeping a lockout for it. The specimens, of which I got only a few, 
are somewhat smaller than those from Ellesmereland, but agree with them. 
They were, for the most part, in fruit when collected, August 11, 1899. 
Occurrence. S, Foulke Fjord, grassy slopes above Etah (1501), 
also in the Sretn collection. 
Ranunculus sulphureus, Souanp. 
fi. sulphureus, Smmuons, Fl. Ellesm. [R. sulphureus. Natuorst, 
N. W. Gronl., R. nivalis, Hart, Bot. Br. Pol. Exp., ex p.; Duran, PI. 
Kan., ex p.; BR. frigidus, Dickie, Not. fl. pl., in IncLerretp, Summer 
Search]. 
In all probability, this species is a common plant throughout our 
area, where it is found by most collectors since the time of SUTHERLAND 
and InGLeriELD. Sometimes, however, it may have been overlooked or 
1 T have previously pointed out (FI. Ellesm., p. 107) that Harr has made a mis- 
take when he stated this species for Disco.
