Pl. Baff. (ex parte); Glyceria angustata, Kumlikn, Planta, Ambeonn, Kiiigua, Macoun, Cat., J. M.

John Ross (NHM); Melville Peninsula: Igloolik, Edwards (ex Hooker, App. Parrt 
II), Repulse Bay, Hooper (LS), (NHM, specimen from Parrt'8 second voyage), 
interiör, Rae (1. c.)]; Baffin Land: Kekerten, Taylor (KH), Kivitung, Boas (ex 
Ambronn, 1. c); Melville Island, Edwards, Parry, Sabine, J. C. Ross (NHM), 
M'MiLLAN (ex Macoun, App. Arctic); North Devon: Castle Island and Devils Isle,

in three or four scattered localities. Hart, Simmons. 
Geographic area. Greenland, northern North America, Arctic Asia, Nowaja 
Semlja, Spitzbergen. 
A. angustata is a far better defined species than A. teneUa, but there is, 
notwithstanding, a possibility for my having introduced some station or other to 
much in the above hst, as some authors may have another conception of the species 
than I have. Hoob:er's records from North Devon (Coll., p. 118) I have, however, 
excluded entirely, as they are not supported by any specimens. 
33. Atropis Vahliana, (Liebm.) m. 
Glyceria Vahliana, Ostenfeld, Flora Aret. & Gjöa Exp., Simmons, Flora EUesm. & Stray Contr. 
Distribution. King William Land: Gjöa Harbour, Lindström (ex Osten- 
feld, Gjöa Exp.); [Boothia Fehx?, John Ross (NHM)]; North Devon: West P^jord, 
Simmons (Stray Contr.); Ellesmereland: scarce in the middle and southem parts, 
Simmons. 
Geographic area. Greenland, Arctic America (one specimen, collected by 
Richardson on the coast of the Continent, seen in the KH), Arctic Siberia, Nowaja 
Semlja, Spitzbergen. 
This species certainly is overlooked in many places, as it is wanting not only 
in Hooker'8 Fl. Bor. Amer., but also in Macoun'8 Cat. Its area may, however, be 
found in future not to be so siugularly broken up as it seems now. 
34. Atropis maritima, (Huds.) Griseb., var. reptans, (Hartm.) m. 
Glurerin mnritima var revtans, Simmons, Flora Ellesm., Ostenfeld, Gjöa Exp.; G. mar. f. vilfoidea,

Distribution. King William Land: Framnäs in Gjöa Harbour, Lindström 
(ex Ostenfeld. Gjöa Exp); Ellesmereland: rather common in the Hayes Sound 
region and on the southern coast, Simmons.
