Before I go over to the treatment of the distribution of the separate species, 
1 think it may be useful to give a list of all localities where plants are collected 
or noted. Larger Islands which we possess no botanical knowledge about are, 
however, also entered, and thus the list will help to give an idea about the degree 
of accuracy with which different regions are explored. Where it has not been 
possible to iusert the name of each locality in the map in consequence of its small 
scale, the numbers added in the hst must serve in stead. The approximate place 
of each locality is also given, and as the question of the importance of the geolo- 
gical nature of the soil is to be taken into consideration in the foUowing, it is here 
indicated by letters (A — Archaean, S — Silurian (with Cambrian and Ordovician), 
D — Devonian, C — Oarboniferous, M — Mesozoic, T — Tertiary). Districts not 
strictly belonging to the Arctic Archipelago are put in ( ). 
List of the islands of the Arctic American Archipelago, 
of localities whence botanical collections or notes exist, with their approximate 
geographical position and their geological nature.
