As it is ratber troublesome to see of tlie fable I bow many 
species are found in eacb district, tlie following sumnaary must 
be made:

Tlie two sets of numbers are dne to tbe entering in table I 
of sorae species, wbicbe bave only witb doubt been accepted as 
citizens of tbe arctic regions or some part of tbem. Tbey are 
marked in tlie table by a I will bave to conie back to 
some of tbem at least later. 
Among tbe districts tbat of Spitzbergen sbows tlie greatest 
nuniber of species. Tliis must be dne in part to favonrable con- 
ditions of life, wbicb bave made it possible for a nuniber of at- 
lantic algae to enter tbe eastern portion of it. Tbe warm wa- 
ters of tbe Gulfstream must be tbe principal factor in so brin- 
ging up tbe nuniber for tbe Murman and Wbite Sea and also 
for Spitzbergen. On tlie otlier band tbe careful exploration ef- 
fected in tbe latter country by tbe swedisli expeditions and in 
tbe first named part by russian, swedisli and otlier investi- 
gators plays a great part. As for east Greenland it must prin- 
cipally be tbe diligent work of danisb and otlier explorers tbat 
lias brougbt up tlie nuniber so far as 84. Aext in nuniber 
comes tbe coast of Danisb Greenland, wliicli altbougb tbe smal- 
lest of tlie four districts bas stib not less tban 113 species. 
Even if favonrable conditions take a part in tliis result it is 
niostly due to tlie assiduous work of tbe danisb investigators
