to the same places. The old record in Hooker, App. Parry III, p. 121: »Whale Islands, scarce. 
Lieut. Ross», which has bcen reprodnced by different authors to give this plant a range up among 
the Arctic Islande, has in fact reference to a locality in Danish Greenland where J. C. Rosa alao 
made collections. 
99. Ranunculus hyperboreus, Rottb. 
Distribution. North Somerset (?): »Regents liilet», Parbt (ex Hooker, App. 
Parbt III); [Melville Peninsula: small lakes at the Fury and Hecla Strait and on 
the island of Igloolik, Edwards (ex Hooker, App. Parry II)]; Baffin Land: Cuniber- 
land Gulf, Cape Searle, Scotts Bay, and Cape Adair, Taylor (Pl. Baff.), Signuia, 
ScHucHERT (fe White (ex HoLM, Cat.) ; Melville Island, Parrt, J. C. Ross (NHM); 
EUesmereland : Goose Fjord, Harbour Fjord, Fram Fjord, Fram Harbour, Cape 
Rutherford, Skräling Island in Alexandra Fjord, Simmons. 
Geographic area. Greenland, arctic and subaretic North America, Rocky 
Mountains, northern Asia and Europé, mountains of central Asia. 
From Taylor there only exists a single specimen in the KH, and that has 
»Batfins Bay» on the label, so that it is impossible to know where it comes from, 
hut it is enoiigh, of course, to show that Tavlor has known the plant in question. 
100. Ranunculus pygmseus, Wahlenb. 
Distribution. Victoria Land: south coast, Rae (KH) ; [Boothia Felix ?, John 
Ross (NHM)]; Baffin Land: Cumberland Gulf, Cape Searle (KH), Scotts Bay, Tatlor 
(Pl. Baff.), Signuia, Schuchert and White (ex Holm, Cat.); EUesmereland: Cape 
Faraday, Wetherill, Fram Harbour, Simmons. 
Geographic area. Greenland, arctic and subaretic North America, Rocky 
Mountains, arctic Asia, iiorthernmost parts and mountains of Europé. 
Probably it is this species which Hooker (CoU.) has enumerated in bis list 
of Raes plants as R. hyperboreus, as no speciraens of the latter are to be found, 
but instead one of B, ppgmwus. 
101. Ranunculus Sabinei, R. Br. 
Distribution. [Boothia FeHx ?, John Ross (NHM)]; Melville Island, herb. 
Menziks (LS), Sabink iKIl), M'Millan (ex Macodn, App. Arctic); North Kent, 
Simmons (Stray Contr.); EUesmereland: Floeberg Beach and Dumbbell Bay, Feilden, 
Discovery Harbour, Hart, Muskox Fjord, Goose Fjord, and Lands End, Simmons. 
Geographi c area. Northwestern Greenland, Arctic America, Rocky Mountains. 
The only specimen from the Rocky Mountains I ha ve seen in the KH has 
låter been named R. oxynotus, A. Gray, by A. Eastwood. Now I do not, indeed, 
know anything about Ghay's plant, but certainly the plant in question does not 
agree with other specimens, lying under that name in the same herbarium, and if 
they .should be united, of course tlie older name of Brown would be to prefer.
