1898-1902. No. 19.] STRAY CONTRIBUT. TO THE BOTANY OF N.DEVON. 5 
I. North Devon. 
Certain parts of the large island of North Devon were visited during 
the Franxuin Search expeditions and some plants brought home by 
members of them. These collections, however, are made quite casually 
by officers not specially entrusted with botanical work, and in most cases 
only a few specimens have been brought home from each place. The 
only station for which perhaps a somewhat more comprehensive list 
might be compiled from the specimens in the London collections, is 
Beechey Island—the first winter-quarter of the ill-fated Frankuin Expe- 
dition and afterwards the rendez-vous for the different parties engaged 
in the search for the missing expedition. Further, some collections were 
made at other points of the same neighbourhood, and along the shore 
of the Wellington Channel Dr. M’Cormick and others observed or col- 
lected a few plants. The north coast, however, was in great part not 
even mapped out in 1900, and, when we first visited it, not a single note 
about its flora existed. 
The contributions to the botany of N. Devon were brought home 
from the following points: — 
1. Boat Cape lat. 75° 58’ long. 90° 25° 
2. Point in Viks Fjord 75° 52° 90° 45/ 
3. Bottom of Viks Fjord 75° 57 91° 40° 
4, Lownessin WestFjord 76° 8° 90° 10’ 
5. Cape Vera 76° 13° 89° 25‘ 
6. Near large glacier 76° 17’ 89° 40° 
7. Mount Belcher 76° 29° 90° 54‘ 
1. Boat Cape. 
This locality was visited by a party on July 26, 1901, and Mr. ScHEI 
noted here Dryas integrifolia in flower and plenty of Salix arctica. 
He also brought home a little collection which contained: Papaver
