The Botany of Iceland - 01.12.1916, Side 3

The material used for this paper has been entrusted to me for
examination by the Botanical Garden, Copenhagen. It embraces
in all 438 samples collected by the following: cand. O. Davidsen
(0. D.f), Dr. phil. Helgi Jónsson (H. Js.), Professor Chr. Gronlund
(Grld. f), Mag. scient. R. Horring (Hor.), Inspector W. Lundbeck (Lb.),
Dr. phil. C. H. Ostenfeld (C. H.O.), Dr. phil. O. Paulsen (O. P.) and
Adjunkt B. Sæmundsson (B. S.).*)
Dr. Thoroddsen has given me valuable assistance as regards the
spelling of the names of the various localities, and has also shewn
me the kindness to go tlrrough my Iist of names, without which
my paper, in this respect, would scarcely have been in agreement
with his work: The Botany of Iceland I, and for tliis assistance I
tender him my hearty thanks. As regards the habitats given by
the various collectors, I have speciíied these when a form appeai's
in up to 3 samples, by adding the parts of the coast where it has
been collected, as well as the name of the finder. In case a form
is found in more than 3 samples, the number of samples and the
parts of the coast are given only. As to the limitation of the diffe-
rent parts of the coast, see Helgi Jónsson, the Botany of Iceland 1,1,
page 6, and the map page 7. The samples are, according to the
parts of the coast, apportioned as follows:
South, given in the text as S...................... 58 samples
South-West — - - — - S.W................... 191 —
