Simmons, Remarks about the Relations of tlie Floras etc.

the region of the arctic Flora, but, tlie greater part of tlie 
elements of its Flora being natives of tlie northern Atlantic and 
having been transplanted froni tliere to tlie north, and north-west 
coast of Norway, it should be referred to tlie region of the 
Atlantic Flora 4 . About the western Murman Sea and White Sea 
I have been rather doubtful, as its climate and iceconditions 
can hardly be called true arctic. Still I have counted it as such. 
With a better right perhaps northeast Iceland could be reckoned 
as arctic and also the part of the american coast froni Hudson 
Strait down to New Foundland, but still it seems more natural 
to let theni pass as temperate. 
Kjellman at first (30, p. 34 — 40) gives a list of 196 species 
(104 red and 92 brown algae; the numbers here and in the 
following always have reference to these groups only), but, by 
excluding such species as only on the norwegian coast pass the 
polar circle n orthward, he reduces the number to 134 (66 brown, 
68 red), which enter the Polar Sea proper. Still this list must 
undergo some further reductions. Kjellman has 4 species as 
doubtful, but I think more must be excluded, viz., 1 : ly such 
as are doubtless wrongly determined by the collectors or 
authors or have come into the list by some other mistake, 2: ly 
species known only froni old sources and never found again, 
3 : ly such species as are not recognized by later writers, who 
have studied theni in connection with a greater material. Even 
if the specific distinction is upheld, tliey can hardly be used to 
prove an arctic endemism dating long time back. The species 
I think necessary to cancel are: 
Lithothamnion polymorphum 
Melobesia Lejolisii 
Polysiphonia dongata 
— fastigiata 
atrorubescens 
Delesseria rodrat a 
— corymbosa 
Nitophyllum punctatum 
Cruoria pellita 
Hydrolapathum sanguineum 
Halosaccion saccatum 
Callophyllis ladniata 
Callymenia septentrionalis 
Gigartina mamillosa 
Rh odoch orton spinulosum 
Porphyra abyssicola 
Fucus edentatus 
— linearis 
— distichus 
Haplospora globosa 
Phyllaria lorea 
Laminaria atrofulva
