allowed to think of this species as one at least of the plants in question. It occurs 
on any kind of soil, even if it is best developed in the Archaean regions. Besides 
the specimens mentioned above there are some in the NHM from Parkt's second 
and third voyages, but without locaHty. Hooker, moreover, mentions it from 
»Regents Inlet> and as existing in Rae's coUection. 
12. Agrostis canina, L. 
A tillgår 19, Tayloe, Pl. Baff. 
Distribution. Baffin Land: Kingnait in Cumberland Gulf, Taylor (NHM). 
Geographic area. West Greenland, northern parts of America, Asia, and 
Europa. 
13. Agrostis borealis Hartm. 
Å. rupestris et A. vulgaris ex p., Taylok, Pl. Baff. 
Distribution. Baffin Land: Milikdjuak Island in Cumberland Gulf, Ta ylor 
(KH). 
Geographic area. Greenland, northern America, Siberia, northern Europé. 
The specimen of Tatlor which I have seen at Kew was called A. vulgaris, 
but nevertheless I think the A. rupestris of the Pl. Baff. must be a synonym In 
Macoun's Cat. A. borealis is entirely wanting, but probably part of his A. scahra 
belongs here, to judge from his syuonymic. Robinson & Fernald, Grat's Manual, 
p. 133, record it from a wide area in North America.
