Abstract
IN preparing a flora of the northernmost regions of eastern North America, nowadays generally referred to as the ” Canadian Eastern Arctic”, I am attempting to gather together, revise and record fully all of the more substantial plant collections that have been made within the area concerned from the times of the earliest navigators and pioneer explorers to the present day. This area for the present purpose is to be defined as excluding Greenland, Ellesmere (the flora of which is well known) and Boothia Felix, but otherwise as comprising all the mainland of eastern North America that lies east of long. 95° W. and north of lat. 60° N., and all the islands of the arctic archipelago (including the 1,000-miles long Baffin Land) that lie either wholly or in part within these bounds.
