A siirvey of the thytogeography of the Arctic American Archipelago 67 
Powell Creek, Beechey Island, »Wellington Channel» (Lyall) and »Lancaster Sound» 
(Walker), ought to be added to the above list of distribution. W. J. Hooker, who 
separated them as varieties in App. Parry II, already speaks of them as probably 
constituting different species. 
66. Luzula nivalis, (Lfest.) Beurl. 
L. hyperhovea, Beown, Chlor. Melv. (ex parte), Hookeb, App. Parry III, Taylok, Pl. Baff.; L. hyp. 
p minor, Hooker, App. Parry II & Fl. Bor. Amer., Macoun, Cat.; L. arcuata var. hyperborea, 
KuMLiEN, Planta; L. are. var. confusa, Ambronn, Kingua. 
Distribution. King William Land: Gjöa Harbour, Lindström (ex Osten- 
eeld, Gjöa Exp.); [Melville Peninsula: south shore of Fury and Hecla Strait, Igloo- 
lik (NHM, SH, CH), Duckett Cove (CH), Parry; Southampton Island: Duke of Yorks 
Bay, Parry (CH)] ; Baffin Land: Cumberland Gulf, Taylor (1. c), Kumlien (1. c), 
GiESE (;ex Ambronn, 1. c); Melville Island, Parry (NHM); North Kent, Simmons 
(Stray Contr.); Graham and Buckingham Islands, Schei; Heiberg Island: Hyperite 
Point, Black Wall, Schei (ex Simmons, 1. c); Ellesmereland: sporadic in a good 
many localities, Feilden, Fosheim, Isachsen, Simmons. 
Geographic area. Greenland, northern parts of America, Asia, and Europé. 
To the above stations is to be added oue either in North Somerset or on the 
opposite coast of Baffin Land, as Hooker, App. Parry III, records L. hypm-horea 
from »Regents Inlet» and there is a specimen from Parry's third voyage in the 
NHM wich shows that the statement has reference to this species. Some of the 
records I have placed under the last species without seeing speciraens may perhaps 
also rightly belong to this. That it has been collected by Giese in Baffin Land 
appears from Ambronn's remarks alluded to above. 
Liliaceae, Adans. 
67. Tofieldia palustris, Huds. 
T. borealis, Kumlien, Planta, Ambronn, Kingua. 
Distribution. [Boothia Felix ?, John Ross (NHM)j; Baffin Land: Cumber- 
land Gulf, Taylor (Pl. Baff.), Kumlien (1. c), Giese (ex Ambronn, 1. c), Kingnait, 
Cape Searle, Scotts Bay, Taylor (1. c). 
Geographic area. Greenland, northern parts of North America and Rocky 
Mountains, Ural mountains, northern Europé and mountains to the south. 
Curiously enough no specimens of this plant were to be found in the London 
collections, but its occurrence in Baffin Land cannot be doubted as it is recorded 
by three different observers, and is a common plant in Greenland and widely 
distributed in America. It may still be shown to grow in Asia also.
