Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vascular Plants in the Flora of Ellesmereland The knowledge we possess about the flora and vegetation of the land, comprises, almost without exception, only the coasts, the inland trips generally having been made at a season, when no considerable collections could be made; and of the coasts even, only some portion may be said to be comparatively wellknown from a botanical point Of view. The description given by greely of the vegetation in the Lake Hazen Valley implies, that there would probably be an interesting field for botanists, and, as there are also in other parts of the land doubt less large tracts affording favorable conditions for vegetation, inland trips during the summer would certainly well repay the pains with a rich botanical harvest. But our expedition was not equipped for such travelling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
