are the plateaux and undulating sand 
hills of Taymur. Even the sand is in- 
sufficient to half conceal the barren 
rocks. It is swept continually by 
winds directly off the floating fields 
of ice, drifting aimlessly between 
Nova Zembla and the New Siberian 
Isles, and yet, wherever the sand- 
stone offers the least protection from 
the saline blasts, vegetation exerts 
itself with vigor. 
It is monotonous to travel day after 
day through this section, where the 
parched and withered tips of sedges 
differ little in color from the yellow-

brown lichens which scantily clothe 
the rocks. The chlorophy! of the 
base shows dimly as through a veil, 
but now and then the traveller crosses 
a sheltered hollow where fresher green 
triumphs. The stems not only are 
long, but stand close together, and 
both grasses and sedges attain the 
height of four to six inches, even 
concealing the mats of moss in which 
their roots are imbedded. 
Sprinkled freely among the grasses 
are found a great variety of flowering 
plants. Small patches of Dryas 
octopetala, a shrubby plant of the 
rose family, with large white flowers, 
specimens of which were found by 
Pursh as far south as the summit of 
the White Hills a century ago. Here 
and there are small patches of 
Ceassiopedtetraganon, a species of 
theheath. Rarely adwarf ranunculus, 
buttercup, diversifies the dingy carpet 
and makes one forget for the moment 
that heis near the 80th parallel. 
But what a change in the floral 
aspect as one approaches the Taymur 
Lake. Large areas are densely cov- 
ered with a lively green, intermingled 
profusely with brilliant-hued flowers, 
such as the yellow siversia and the 
gorgeous Oxytropys, a member of the 
pulse family. Everywhere along the 
margin of the lake is met the red 
armeria, the white and blue saxifrage 
and the purple-hued larkspur. Nor 
are these flowers of a dwarfed and 
stunted growth, for the mustard and 
the poppy, the saxifrage, and the 
white-flowered knot weed, above a 
foot in height, decorate the shores, 
and Middendorff discovered an islet 
in the lake covered like a New Eng- 
land field with the yellow squaw weed, 
with many conspicuous specimens 18 
inches in height, bearing no less than 
40 flowers above an inch in diameter. 
Nor need one look in vain for the 
blue forget-me-not, while within the 
boggy hollows stand the waving heads 
of the cotton grass and the bluebells 
“softly tinkling in the wind.” 
Though many of these flowers are 
but three or four inches high, yet in 
their dwarfed condition they are far 
more beautiful. Here sunlight is per- 
petual for 16 weeks, and the flowers ° 
never close their petals, but as if 
aware of the all too brief summer, 
they gather a surplus of beauty from 
the sunbeams and reflect it in colors 
rich, warm and harmonious. 
The progress of vegetation is most 
remarkable, and if you would actually 
see the grass grow and the poppies 
unfold their petals, you must visit 
Taymur Land. For scarcely do the 
first leaves break through the rein- 
deer moss than the blossoms also 
appear, as if fearful lest the wintry 
night willapproach ere their seeds are 
brought to full maturity.
