Of great importance is the discovery of wide-spread Meso/.oic In d> 

 that were jtrevionsly known only in a few localities in the islands lyini,' 

 to the south-west of Hingnes and Heiherg Island (Prince Patrick Island 

 and olher>|. 



From the shores of Eureka Sound and adjacent district farther north, 

 fos>ils were collected in several localities. The fossil faunas were studied 

 hy Prof. K. KITTL, who has puhlished a paper ,,Die Triasfossilien vom 

 Heureka Sund u . (This report no. 7, 11)07). 



Arranged according to locality the fossils described hy KITTL are 

 the following: 



1. I'Vuin calcareous .shale and limestone at Blaafjeld (Blue Mountain)
