Note 15 — Chapter XXXVI

Not wishing to interrupt the text with details which would have little interest for the general reader, I give here the complete flora (so far as a most persistent effort could make it so) of the region northward from Whale Sound. Most of the plants were found at Port Foulke. My collections numbered several thousand specimens, which my kind friend, Mr. Elias Durand, of Philadelphia, was good enough to assist me in arranging, and afterward to classify in a paper for the "Proceedings" of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, from which I give the following list:—

1. Ranunculus nivalis. 2. Papaver nudicaule. 3. Hesperis Pallasii. 4. Draba Alpina. 5. Draba corymbosa. 6. Draba hirta. 7. Draba glacialas. 8. Draba rupestris. 9. Cochlearia officinalis. 10. Vesicaria Arctica. 11. Arenaria Arctica. 12. Stellaria humifusa. 13. Stellaria Stricta. 14. Cerastium Alpinum. 15. Silene acaulis. 16. Lychnis apetala. 17. Lychnis panciflora. 18.
