In Foulke Fjord, where the plant was very common, I found the 
var. humilis, Fenzi, the same in which it generally appears in Elles- 
mereland, as well as another, less condensed, and glaucous form, which 
comes nearest to var. peduncularis, (Bunce) Fenzu (St. peduncularis, 
Bunce, in Lepezour, Fl. Alt.). The first-mentioned form grew in open 
soil, gravelly places, etc., the latter among grass along brooks in the 
slope above Etah (1499).

In Foulke Fjord I found only one single individual of this species, 
the following, which was not found in Ellesmereland, being here the 
most abundant. Kane did not bring home either of them, only M. 
apetalum; but some of his notes about ‘“Lychnis”, for instance, at the 
mouth of Mary Minturn River in Bancroft Bay, and from the shore of 
Kennedy Channel, belong most probably here. The “Lychnis pauci- 
flora” of Hayes! of which I can form no distinct opinion as the speci- 
1 Indeed Duranv, Enum. pl. Smith S., records a “Lychnis pauciflora, Fiscu.” from 
Netlik, but as he has also besides L. apetala, he does not use the name inthe same 
sense as Fiscuer himself (L. pauciflora, Fiscu. in litt. is a synonym of L. ape- 
tala, according to Decanpotts, Prodr. I, p. 386). According to Romrpacs, Syn. 
Lychn., the author of L. pauciflora is LepEsour, even though the specimens in 
the herbarium of Fiscuer are referred to under Melandrium apetalum. Lepe- 
zour himself, in his Fl. Ross. has his L. pauciflora as a synonym of the latter
