the expedition, told me that when he visited some lakelets in a valley 
beyond the range above Etah, which I could not reach during our short 
stay, he had seen a grass there with long floating leaves. Now of course 
that may have been the water-form of Alopecurus alpinus, but it is at 
least equally probable that it was Pleuropogon. It is very much to be 
regretted, that he did not bring a specimen with him; but, on the other 
hand, this note may perhaps induce some botanist who may visit the 
fjord in the future, to examine that part of its surroundings where, in 
all probality, other additions to the flora might also be made, as water- 
plants are very scantily represented in the present list.

It is probable that this species is not common, as it is missing 
also from the lists of those collectors who have worked systematically 
and thoroughly, such for instance as Natuorst, WETHERILL. It is, how- 
ever, not rare at Foulke Fjord, where I found it both on the sandy 
beach outside Reindeer Point, and also in the rook-crannies of that point 
and in the gravel slope at Etah. 
Occurrence. S. Inglefield Gulf: M’Cormick Bay (MeeHan); Foulke
