Warming), conform to the irregularities of their habitat, where some piaces are dry and warm while olhers are humid and cold. (4.) The vegetation of the south-exposed »Hamre« (rock-ledges) is not so rich as that just described. The chief difference is, that on the dry »Hammer« the mosses occur neither in snch masses nor as so many species, because the light is too strong and the water-content of the soil too scanty for them. The higher piants which prefer shade and moisture are also absent and their piaces are taken by other more xerophile species. The dry, south-exposed »Hamre« occur in all the islands from the lower regions upwards to the highest mountains, but as might be expected, the constituents of the vegetation vary somewhat according to the altitude above sea-level. 63*.
