Simmons. Remarks about tlie Relations of the Floras etc. 
151 
tlie region of tlie arctic Flora, but, tlie greater part of the 
elements of its Flora being natives of the northern Atlantic and 
liaving been transplanted front there to the north and north-west 
coast of Horway, it should be referred to the region of the 
Atlantic Flora*. 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. 
AVith a better right perhaps northeast Iceland could be reckoned 
as arctic and also the part of the ameriean coast from Hudson * 
Straft down to Xew Foundland, but still it seems more natural 
to let them pass as temperate. 
Kjellman at first i30. 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 
exclucling such species as only on the norwegian coast pass the 
polar circle northward, 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, Hz., 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 from old sources and never found again, 
3 : ly such species as are not recognized by later writers, who 
have studied them in connection with a greater material. Even 
if the specific distinction is upheld, they 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 elongata

P) eiess er ia rostrata
