Burdin Bay (Incerretp), Netlik (Hayes), Fan Glacier and Cape Acland 
(WeTHERILL); Foulke Fjord (Hart), at Reindeer Point (1494, 1524, 1583).2

Silene acaulis, L. 
S. acaulis, Simmons, FI. Ellesm. [S. acaulis, Duranp, Pl. Kan., 
et Enum. pl. Smith S.; Natuorst, N. W. Grénl.; WeTHERILL, List 1894]. 
Notwithstanding that this species is not at all rare at Foulke Fjord, 
it has been entirely overlooked there by the previous collectors. I found 
it in several places—in grassy slopes as well as in gravel plains. Nar- 
norst, N. W. Gronl., records it only for Ivsugigsok; but although it is 
not noted by Duranp from any of Kane’s North-West Greenland local- 
ities, it is mentioned by Kane himself (Arct. Explor. I, p. 266), and it 
is also entered in the list of Hayes’s collections. 
Occurrence. S. Cape York (WetHERILL); Ivsugigsok (NatHorst); 
Inglefield Gulf: Northumberland Island (Stem), Glacier Valley, Cape 
Acland, Fan Glacier (WeTHERILL), Netlik (Hayes); Foulke Fjord, Rein- 
deer Point (223, 1520); Rensselaer Bay (Kane).

1 Mzrnan, who mentions it from Inglefield Gulf (Contr. Greenl., p. 209), seems to 
have been unable to separate the species in question as pointed out by Tu. 
_ Houm, Contr. Fl. Green). 
> The statement of Duranp, Pl. Kan., “at almost every station of both voyages“, 
must of course be left out of consideration.
