\<>. VII. CRUSTACEA, 255 



9. Sounding. 6 fathoms. Lat. 82° 27' N. 



Cytheropteron montrosiense, B., C. and R. 



10. Sand from Floeberg Beach. Lat. 82° 29' N. 



Cythere cribrosa, B., C. and R. 



Respecting this list, all that it is needful here to observe is 

 the general similarity of the fauna to that of the Post-tertiary 

 glacial beds of Scotland, and also, of course, to that of the 

 North British seas, e.g. Shetland and the Northern Hebrides. 

 Two species appear to be undescribed, but all the rest are 

 well known as glacial fossils. Considering the small amount 

 of material obtained, the number of species — twenty-one — is 

 large, and would seem to denote a very considerable develop- 

 ment of minute crustacean life in the sea-bed of these 

 remote regions.
