quite another plant, which should be called A. caespitosa var. brevifolia, 
(Marscu. v. Bres.) Hartm., of which it represents a small and stunted 
form. 
Occurrence. S. Ivsugigsok (NaTHorst). 
Agrostis canina, L. 
The A. canina 6 melaleuca, Bone., of Duranp, Pl. Kan., which is 
said to have been collected at Smith Sound as well as at Sukkertoppen, 
is decidedly a very doubtful plant. No other collector has found the 
variety in Greenland, and the species is restricted to the southernmost 
part of Danish Greenland between lat. 60° and 61°. I feel, therefore, 
fully justified in excluding it from the list. 
Arctagrostis latifolia, (R. Br.) GrRisEs. 
A. latifolia, Simmons, Fl. Ellesm. [A. latifolia, WeETHERILL, List 
1894; Colpodium latifolium, Natuorst, N. W. Gronl.]. 
Often sterile and thus easily overlooked, as I too did during my 
first visit to Foulke Fjord. When I went there again in 1899 and 
turned my attention to finding it, I saw it in many places along brooks, 
in moist depressions, ete. I therefore think that it is far more common 
throughout the area than appears from the few records of it. 
Occurrence. S. Ivsugigsok (NatHorst); Inglefield Gulf: Cape Ac- 
land (WeTHERILL); Foulke Fjord at Reindeer Point and Etah (1464, 1513).

Common everywhere in the most different situations, immediately 
catching the eye and so easily identified, that it has got a place in the 
list of every collector, always under its right name. I may, however, 
give a list of the places from whence it is mentioned in literature. 
Occurrence. S. Bushnan Island (SutHERLAND); Cape York (Hart,
