HANS KI.ER. [SEC. ARCT. EXP. FRAM 



The remaining samples from the bottom contained stones and vari- 

 ous specimens of animals, especially Bryozoa and Crustacea. 



Dr. V. MADSKN has assisted me in the examination of some of 

 the Foraminifera, for which ready assistance I would here express my 

 thanks. 



The depths from which the bottom samples have been taken are 

 generally small, seldom exceeding 25 fathoms, only 2 being taken from 

 somewhat greater depths, namely 45 and 55 fathoms. 



The fact that the bottom samples, even in shallow water from 1 or 

 2 fathoms down to 25 fathoms and more, consisted of fine mud, seems 

 to indicate that the waters were land-locked, and with slack currents.
