1898-1902, No. 19.] STRAY CONTRIBUT. TO THE BOTANY OF N.DEVON. 21 
the plants were noted without any thought of getting a complete list 
which would doubtless have been at least twice as great as the above. 
The entire list of the North Kent flora now contains 33 species of phan- 
erogams and 50 mosses, but doubtless, considerably more could be found 
of these groups by a closer inspection, to say nothing of the not yet 
determined lichens and algae. 
IV. Graham and Buckingham Islands. 
Mr. Scuer brought home two small collections from his spring jour- 
ney in 1900 when he visited these islands. It is, of course, impossible 
to form from these collections, which were made during an unfavorable 
season, any opinion about the flora of the islands; but they have, 
according to Mr. Scuet, a well developed vegetation. As the geolog- 
ical map of Mr. Scuer (in SvERDRUP, Neues Land) shows, the islands 
are built up of Mesozoic rocks, which may have afforded a soil favor- 
able enough for the development of a dense vegetation, even if the 
species are probably few. 
1. Graham Island. 
This small island, lying in about lat. 77° 10’—20’, long. 91°, north 
of Cardigan Strait, was first discovered during BrELcHER’s expedition. 
From a valley, where reindeer were found, Mr. Scuer brought home a 
little sample of the vegetation containing: — Dryas integrifolia (1910), 
Potentilla emarginata (1909), Stellaria longipes (1911), Salix arctica 
(1912), Luzula arcuata var. confusa (1916), L. nivalis (1908), and one 
moss, Rhacomitrium lanuginosum. 
9. Buckingham Island. 
From this small island, lying immediately west of Graham Island, 
Mr. Scuer brought home only two plants: — Potentilla emarginata and — 
Luzula nivalis.
