The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. 113 
of the fjord along a brook from the hill 3125’ to the bay at Egalünguit; here the 
occurrence is called Tiggait (the unpleasant smelling). Somewhat eastwards are se- 
veral smaller localities near the same hill and in a valley leading behind the northern 
side of the hill to Avdlangissat is a very large occurrence of the plant at 69°36’. 
Farther inwards at the same branch the occurrences of Archangelica extend with 
small interruptions from Orpit to Kuänerssuit at the head of the branch. The last 
mentioned locality I have described elsewhere (Medd. om Grl. 25 р. 188—98). As 
far as botanical literature is concerned, the word Kuänerssuit denotes the northern 
shore here, but, according to the traditions of the natives, the name refers to the 
shore inside the very head of the branch. This place is now inaccessible during 
summer because of the filling up of the fjord by the action of the torrents here. The 
Archangelica-plants are here said to reach a size so large that the stems will project 
when carried in the skin of a fullgrown saddle-back seal. — At Angujartütit, where 
the shore of the same bends in a south-westerly direction, is an area with numerous 
hot springs, 5—6 kilometers in length and more than one kilometer wide. Archangelica 
erows over the whole area, the biggest occurrence I have seen. — 5) In the south- 
western branch of the fjord, Archangelica occurs at three spots, one somewhat in- 
side Ikineq, 69°29(!) the other about midway between that place and Nangissat. 
— 6) In the branch Kangikitdleq are two localities at the head of the branch near 
the valley leading northwards, 60°28’ and one on the southern shore, Kuanikasit, 
69°27. — 7) Finally Archangelica occurs on the southern shore of Qeqertaq, at 
69°29’ and on the southern shore of the fjord proper, inside Nipisat Bay, 69°25’ 
whereas it is wanting at the hot spring Unartoq on that shore.

IV. South Coast of Disko and valleys hereof. 
Along the shore at the foot of the mountain Blaafjeld (Uivfak) about 54° Long. 
W. Archangelica occurs in small quantities in several places, turning round the 
southeastern corner of the mountain, where they grow denser and reaching up the 
valley Itivdleq, ending at the valley Tukingassoq, leading behind Blaafjald. — 
From Kangerdluarssuk (Fortune Bay) to Augpilagtunguaq are 4 or 5 small occurr- 
ences. From here they occur almost continually over Quvnermiut (!) to Engelsk- 
mandens Havn, 69°15’ near Godhavn. In Lyngmarken only a few individuals occur. 
In Osterdalen and at the springs in that valley Archangelica was absent, but several 
years ago seeds were sown here (Е. P.) and seedlings are found. In Blæsedalen 
Archangelica grows from the foot of the mountain Skarvefjæld and half-way to 
the fjord, but scarce (!). At the foot of the said mountain, towards the sea, we have 
a very luxuriant locality, named Kuanit, often mentioned and figured because of 
the picturesque basalt-columns. Farther eastwards near the cliff Per Dams Skib 
(Asungasungaq) we find Archangelica at a considerable height over the sea. Also 
at the mouth of Brede Dal, 69°18’ the plant occurs in plenty (!). 
From Brede Dal eastwards Archangelica occurs at Puilasstinguagq (!), Tase- 
rarssuk and Sinigfik, 69°19’—20'(!), Marrait, Kigdlussat and Sarqarssuaq, 69°20’— 
22’, Tuapait 69°25’ and in a valley inside the settlement of Aumarütigssat, the 
river of which ends at Kigdlusaitsut nüat. From this point eastwards towards Mud- 
derbugt no occurences are known. 
V. Mudderbugt and valleys to that bay. 
Archangelica occurs on the southern side, rather far from the shore, 69°40’, 
and on the northern side, also at same distance from the bay. Harrz has, in Medd. 
om Grl. 15, p. 55, given a description of the place and its vegetation. Finally at the 
head at the largest valley to Mudderbugt, Kvandal behind Ujaragsugssuk, ca. 69°47’, 
"described by Porsrtp, 1. €. p. 153. This place is the northernmost known in
