1898—1902. No. 19.] STRAY CONTRIBUT. TO THE BOTANY OF N. DEVON, 7 
scanty list which follows below. The densest vegetation was found along 
some small brooks and around some shallow ponds near the shore where, 
however, mosses decidedly formed the most prominent constituent of the 
verdure. The flowering plants obtained were:— Sawifraga cernua (2629), 
S. groenlandica (2632), S. nivalis, S. oppositifolia, Potentilla pulchella, 
Dryas integrifolia, Draba alpina (2630), D. subcapitata (2627), Coch- 
learia officinalis var. groenlandica (2628), Papaver radicatum (2626), 
Cerastium alpinum, Stellaria longipes, Alsine verna (2623), A. Rossii 
(2631), Salix arctica, Glyceria Vahliana (2657), G. distans var. vagi- 
nata (2625), Catabrosa algida (2624), Juncus biglumis. Mr. Scuer 
found besides Saaxifraga stellaris var. comosa and S. rivularis. No 
Carices or Eriophora wore found in the ponds. 
The list of mosses (BryHN, Bryophyta, p. 204—205) contains 33 spe- 
cies. The most prominent among them were Tortula ruralis and the large 
Hypna, such as H. uncinatum, H. turgescens, H. Bambergeri. The 
lichens and algae are not yet determined, but I may mention that blue- 
green algae were found in great masses in the ponds and also form- 
ing layers on moist stones and clay. Along the margin of one of the 
ponds lay, on a long stretch, a layer of organic remains, principally 
blue-green algae and diatoms, in a halfdried condition and from 10 to 
15 cm. thick. In one of the rivulets I also found, growing on stones 
and lying loose, an Enteromorpha which I have previously found in 
several places in Ellesmereland. It belongs, as far as I have as yet 
had any opportunity of ascertaining, to an undescribed species. 
5. Cape Vera. 
This place was first visited by Mr. Scuet, July 22, 1901 and after- 
wards by myself, July 14—15, 1902. Cape Vera forms the end of a 
long, pointed naze between the West Fjord and the narrow western part 
of Jones Sound. Even as we steamed past it in August, 1900, I had 
observed a rather dense verdure in some parts of the low foreland in 
front of the high wall of limestone cliffs which forms the interior of the 
ness. This mountain, the Fulmar Petrel Cliff, reaches a height of per- 
haps 1500 feet and descends in a rather abrupt wall towards the 
low land, intersected by numerous narrow ravines and flanked by high 
pyramids and obelisks of limestone. On the top of the cliffs there is a 
fairly wide névé, feeding a good-sized glacier which flows down some- 
what further west on the north side. The cliffs are built up of the 
same hard limestone as those to the east, and would consequently be
