authors have both in their lists, for instance Taylor, Pl. Baff.; there are uo spe- 
cimens, however, of his C. fuhginosa in the herbaria I have studied, and cousequently 
I canuot u^ake out wbat lie has ineant with that name, his C. misandra being 
rightly determioed. 
59. Oarex capillaris, L. 
Distribution. [Boothia Felix ?, John Ross (NHM)]; Baffin Land: Kingnait 
(NHM, KH) and other places in Cumberland Sound, Taylor (Pl. Baff.); Ellesmere- 
land: Harbour Fjord, Simmons. 
Geographic area. Greenland, northern parts and mountain regions to the 
soutli in North America, Asia, and Europé. 
60. Oarex membranopacta, Bailey. 
C. compacta, Bkown, App. Ross I, Hookes, CoU., Aemstrong, Narrat., Taylor, Pl. Balf., Macoun, 
Cat.; C. memhranncea, Hookee, App. Pakry II & III, Fl. Bor. Amer., Rae, Exp.; C. rofundata, 
OsTEXFKLi), Flora Aret. (ex parte); C. vesicaria subsp. snxatilis var. compacta, Kökexthal, Cyp. Caric. 
Distribution. Victoria Land: Minto Inlet, Anderson (KH, SH); King 
William Land: Gjöa Harbour, Lindström (CH); [Boothia Felix ?, John Ross (NHM)]; 
North Somerset, J. C. Ross (ex Hooker, App. Parry Hl; [Melville Peninsula: IglooHk, 
Parry (KH), interiör, Rae (1. c); Southampton Island: Duke of Yorks Bay, Parry 
(NHM, KH, CH); Nottingham Island, Bell (ex Macoun, I. c.)]: Baffin Land: Big 
Island, Tarr (ex Rowlee & Wieöand, Cornell list), Cumberland Gulf, Kekerten 
(KH, NHM), Cape Searle, Scotts Bay, Taylor (1. c), Fossession Bay, John Ross 
(ex Brown, 1. c), Port Bowen, J. C. Ross (NHM); Ellesmereland, common in the 
Archaean region, Simmons. 
Geographic area. Arctic and subarctic parts of America, northeastern Asia. 
A specimen of tliis sedge collected by J. C. Ross lies in the LS herbarium 
from Parry's second voyage also. Taylor's record of it from Geenland doubtless 
has reference to auother species, most probably C. roiundata, Wahlenb., to which 
it coraes nearest, as no C. membranopacta is actually found in Greenland. How 
Ki7KENTHAL cau have put it uuder C. saxatilis, L. [C. pulla, Good.) I am entirely 
at a loss to understand. He seems not to have taken any notice of my Flora 
Ellesm., where the question is treated in detail. Even the many new facts of 
distribution conimunicated in my book he has made no use of, notwithstanding its 
appearance three years before his monograph. Ostenpeld, on the other hand, has 
accepted my view after studying a larger and better material, than he bad when 
the Flora Aret. was written (Gjöa Exp., p. 5). 
Juncaceae, Vent.; Dumort.
