Herb. Copenhagen [C]: c. 3300 nos; during the last part of the expedition attention was specially focussed on the collecting of Fungi.

For collectors see under S.-E. Sandermann Olsen, M.E. Køie, H. Dissing, S.E. Christiansen, and T.L. Wolff.

Unfortunately hardly any duplicate material was collected; the labelling was rather unsatisfactory for a period after S.-E. Sandermann Olsen left the expedition.
