108 H. G. SIMMONS. [SEC. ARCT. EXP. FRAM 
Polypodiaceae. 
Aspidium fragrans, (L.) Sw. 
A. fragrans, Simmons, FI. Ellesm. [A. fragrans, WetueRILL, List 
1894]. 
Occurrence S. Inglefield Gulf: Bowdoin Bay (WetHERILL).! 
Cystopteris fragilis, (L.) Bernu. 
C. fragilis, Simmons, FI. Ellesm. [C. fragilis, Duranp, Pl. Kan.: 
WeTHERILL, List 1894]. 
Besides the localities, mentioned below, where the species is found, 
there is one more in Duranp’s list of Kane’s plants (Pl. Kan., p. 201) 
which may perhaps belong to it, even though it seems at least equally 
probable that the following one is meant. Duranp says under Cysto- 
pteris: “Another state (very young) of propably the same fern was col- 
lected at Rensselaer Harbour. It is scarcely more than 4 inches long, 
narrower and less divided, without fruit dots.” 
In Foulke Fjord it grew here and there in crevisses of the rocks. 
Occurrence. S, Wolstenholme Sound (Kane); Inglefield Gulf: 
Bowdoin Bay (WETHERILL); Foulke Fjord: Reindeer Point (222, 1465). 
Woodsia glabella, R. Br. 
W. glabella, Smmons, FI. Ellesm.; W. ilvensis var. glabella, OstTEN- 
FELD, Plantes N. E. Gronl. . 
Only found in Foulke Fjord, where it grew sparingly in the fissures 
of rock above Reindeer Point. Perhaps, however, the above mentioned 
statement of Duranp may have reference to this species. 
Occurrence. S. Foulke Fjord (1491). 
1 Gevert in Osrenretp. FI. Arct., p.5, gives the northern limit in Greenland of this 
fern as 78° 30', which must be a mistake as he only quotes Werueritt and his 
locality lies about one degree to the south.
