must have looked out well to have been able to find so many species 
early in the year before the snow had gone away. Besides, he thought 
he had seen some more, especially Hmpetrum nigrum which, however, 
was not present in the collection. 
2. Whit Sunday Bay. 
Mr. Scuer camped here, May 26, 1901, and made a collection of 
flowering plants containing: — Potentilla pulchella, Saxifraga cernua, 
Chamaenerium latifolium, Hesperis Pallasii, Melandrium affine, 
Stellaria longipes, Alsine verha, Salix arctica, Festuca ovina (all in 
2759). 
3. Skraling (Eskimo) Point. 
The collection of Mr. Scuer from this point was made May 17, 1901, 
and contains: — Potentilla pulchella, Melandrium affine, Stellaria 
longipes, Alsine verna, Luzula arcuata var. confusa, Poa cenisia 
(all in 2753). 
4. Vicinity of Black Wall. 
Visited by Mr. Scuer, May 11, 1902. His collection consists only 
of Luzula nivalis (4121) and some lichens. 
5. Rens Fjord. 
Mr. FosHem who together with Captain Sverprup turned back from 
here, May 5, 1900, made a little collection which was found to embrace 
three flowering plants, Saaxifraga oppositifolia, Papaver radicatum, 
and Festuca ovina, besides some lichens and, according te Bryxn, Bryo- 
phyta, p. 187, the following mosses: — Dicranum congestum, Ditrichum 
flexicaule, Rhacomitrium lanuginosum, Timmia austriaca, Polytri- 
chum alpinum, P. piliferum (all in 1905). 
With this, [ have to finish my small contribution to the knowledge 
of the botanical features of Heiberg Land. At present, its flora is known 
to consist of 34 flowering plants and 15 mosses, besides some unexamined 
lichens. A certain interest attaches to one of the phanerogams, viz., He- 
speris Pallasii, which is not found in the south coast of Ellesmereland. 
Its occurrence at Whit Sunday Bay! seems to imply that it has reached 
middle and northern Ellesmereland by way of Heiberg Land. The east

instead.
