118. Arabis alpina, L. 
Distribution. Baffin Land: Cumberland Gulf, Kumlien (Plants), Cape Searle, 
Taylor (KH, NHM); Melville Island, M'Millan (ex Macoun, App. Arctic). 
Geographic area. Greenland, eastern arctic and subarctic North America, 
eastern and northern Asia, arctic and subarctic parts as well as mountains to the 
south in Europé. 
About the appearance of this species in southern Baffin Land there is nothing 
singular, but the more so about the record from Melville Island which is not all in 
accord with its eastern range on the Continent, and moreover it is generally not 
higharctic, even if it reaches to Spitzbergen. On the other hand there is a curious 
circumstance about another species of Arabis, viz., A. Hookeri, Lange, which is 
foiind in Greenland even so far up as Foulke Fjord (78"18'N.), as well as on the 
arctic coast of America. This would sooner be to expect in the Archipelago.
