THE VOYAGE OF THE VEGA. 
[chap. 
Vegetation was much more luxuriant and richer in species 
than at Cape Chelyuskin, and naturally bore a more southern 
stamp, not only in consequence of the more southerly position 
of the island, but also on account of its shores being washed 
by the water of the Chatanga river, which is warm during 
summer.^ 
Unfortunately, on account of the advanced season of the year
