A eurvey of the Phytogeography of the Arctic American Archipelago

make out what Tayloe has meant. Tliat a species which is not an inimbitant of any part of the 
continent of America should appear in Baffin Land is hanlly to think of, even if it is a Greenland 
plant. Perhaps it might be J. balticus, Deth., which Taylou has taken for arcticus, as that specien 
has a circumpolar distribntion, without, however, being found hitherto anywhere in the Arctic 
Islands.

Certainly this plant is far more common than it appears from the above list 
of locahties, but has escaped the coUectors by its small size and insignificant habit. 
Besides the specimens referred to above, tliere is a notice about it in Hooker s 
App. Parry II, but without locality. It may have been collected soraewhere in 
the Melville Peninsula or on Southampton Island. In App. Parry III Hooke 
mentions it from »Regents Inlet», but if that 
the Baffin Land 
North Somerset coast, is impossil 
form anv oi.inion about.
