Abstract
IN a recent volume of the “Meddelelser om Gronland” (vol. Ixiv., 1923), Prof. C. H. Ostenfeld, of Copenhagen, gave an account of a collection of flowering plants made by Dr. Thorild Wulff, naturalist to the second Thule Expedition (1916-18), under Knud Rasmussen, on the north coast of Greenland. This contribution to our knowledge of Arctic botany is exceptionally interesting, as it deals with the most northerly outposts of the world's vegetation on the shore of the Polar Ocean which have so far been discovered. The “Meddelelser om Gronland” is a series of which the Danish Government may be justly proud; but as its circulation is necessarily restricted, there is a danger of important communications which are of general interest being overlooked unless special attention is directed to them in some more widely-read scientific journal.
