A snrvey of the Phytogeography of the Arctic American Archipelago 63 
rules to use it. Kukenthal who looks upon the american material of the plant in 
questions as forniing a subspecies altocauHs, (Dew.) Britt., seems not to have seen 
specimens from the arctic parts of the Continent. 
57. Oarex ustulata, Wahlenb. 
a atrata, Hooker, App. Fabry II. 
Distribution. Victoria Land: Cambridge Bay, Anderson (KH); [Melville 
Peninsula: south side of the Fury and Hecla Strait, Parry (NHM), Igloohk, Pakry 
(KH), interiör, Rae (Exp.)]; Baffin Land: Port Bowen, J. C. Ross (NHM); Elles- 
mereland: Harbour Fjord, Simmons, Hayes Sound, Hart, Discovery Harbour, 
Greely (comp. Simmons, Flora Ellesm., p. 140). 
Geographic area. Greenland, arctic North America, eastern and northern 
Asia and mountains to the south, arctic part and mountains of northern and cen- 
tral Europé. 
Kukenthal, Cyp. Caric, p. 553, has adopted the name C. atroftisca, Schkuhr, 
for this plant, but as 1 bad shown before the appearance of his monograph Schkuhr's 
description and figures do not apply to the same sedge as Wahlenberg distinguished. 
HooKER seems somehow to have mixed it up with C. atrata, L. (as have other 
authors also), for in App. Parry II he mentions both. The plant referred (with 
some doubt, because the specimen is rather young) to O. atrata is C. ustulata, but 
I have not found the specimen from Kepulse Bay, wliich he identified as the latter 
species; in Fl. Bor. Amer., p. 224, he gives Labrador as locahty of C. ustulata, but 
for C. atrata still stånds (p. 216) »Arctic America, Parry». Kijkenthal knows no 
arctic locaHties in America for the latter species, nor have I seen specitnens in 
the London collections. 
58. Carex misandra, R. Br. 
c. fuliginosa, Hookek, App. Parey II k III, Armstrong, Narrat., Hookek, Coll. & Exp. Fox. 
Distribution. Victoria Land: Minto Inlet and Cambridge Bay, Anderson 
(KH); King William Land, Lindström (CH); [Boothia Felix ?, John Ross (NHM)]; 
North Somerset: Port Kennedy, Walker (ex Hooker, Exp. Fox), Fury Beach, J. C. 
Ross (NHM); [Melville Peninsula: Duckett Cove, Parry (NHM), Five Hawser Bay, 
Parry (ex Hooker App. Parby II); Southampton Island: Duke of Yorks Bay, Parry 
(CH)]; Baffin Land: Kingnait, Tavlor (NHM, KH). Port Bowen, J. C. Ross (KH); 
Melville Island, J. C. Ross (NHM); Ellesmereland, common, especially in the 
Archsean region, Hart, Greely, Isachsen, Simmons. 
Geographic area. Greenland, arctic parts and northern mountains of Ame- 
rica, Asia, and Europé; represented in the Caucasus and central european mountains 
by the nearly allied C. fuUr/inosa, Sternb. & Hoppe. 
Kt kenthal Cyp. Caric, p. 557, has reduced C. misandra to a variety of C. 
fuligmosa, Sternb. & Hoppe, but I think it is better to keep it separate. Some
