the arctic region, Odonthalia dentata and Lithothamnion colHculo- 
sum are found also in other arctic provinces. 
• 
Of the 11 species found as well in Spitzbergen as in the 
Murman Sea but not on the east coast of Greenland 7 are also 
absent from the Western coast of that country. The 4 otliers, 
Dictyosiphon hippuroides, Phyllophora Brodiaei, Ceramium rubrum, 
Clathromorphum compactum, in all probability will be found there 
yet. The two species, Pylaiella varia and Ectocarpus ovatus , that 
are only found in east Greenland and Spitzbergen but not in 
the southeastern part of the province, probably also will be de- 
tected there. The S species from east Greenland and the south- 
eastern district are not very arctic. With one exception, Lami- 
naria saccharina (var.) they are found also in Western Greenland. 
5 of them, Scytosiplion lomentarius , Pliyllitis fascia, Ralfsia deusta , 
Fucus vesicülosus, Rhodymenia palmata are found only in the 
Southern part of the east Greenland-coast, two others, Isthmoplea 
sphaerophora and Sorapion Kjellmani are not found there yet. 
Lastly there are 33 species only found in east Greenland; 
most of these are also known from the western coast of that 
country. 
The 120 species of the Spitzbergen-province are distributed 
as follows: east Greenland has 85, Spitzbergen 64, the Murman 
and White Sea 76. If a comparison of the East-Greenland- 
flora with those of the others parts of the province is made 
after the method I have previously (38, p. 219) proposed, the 
result will be the following:

The series of figures below I have taken from Ivjellman 
(30), to show how far our knowledge of the East-Greenland-flora 
has advanced since his work was written. It is easily under- 
stood, in looking at these figures, why Kjellman could say: 
„The scanty notices, that we possess on the marine Vegetation on
