lections from Sophus Müller's Naze, which, however, he cer- 

 tainly did. 



The main part of the geological observations, as well as of the 

 collections of fossils, were made by Wegener and G. Thostrup, 

 and on pp. 143 — 145 there is some mention made of their labours. 



The first day after their saying farewell to the sledge expedi- 

 tions that continued northwards was: 



"April 27:th. After making some survey observations at the 

 tent-place, G. Thostrup and Wegener at 10.30 a. m. drove out to 

 the Henrik Kröyer's Islets in order to investigate these skerries, 

 which are only 20 metres high 



On the islands as well as on the land itself they found numerous 

 fossils " 



"On April 29:th the tent was pitched on the northern side of the 

 (Ingolfs) fjord, and here they were obliged to wait until the 3:rd 

 of Mai], before they had clear enough weather to make the neces- 

 sary surveys and observations. 



During this delay, however, Wegener had the opportunity of 

 thoroughly examining the surrounding landscape " 



During this wait, fossils were collected and profiles were taken 

 in two rivers and west of Cape Jungersen. 



The time from May 3 to May 11 was employed to the journey 

 along the coast of Holms Land to Mallemukfjæld. 



"On May ll.th they drove into the district south of Holm's Land. 

 It proved to be a sound, the two branches of which, Hekla Sound 

 and Dijmphna Sound, encircled Lynn Island and afterwards ran 

 between the mainland and Hovgaard's Island down to the Nioghalv- 

 fjerdsfjord. 



During the days from the tl:th to the 18:ih of May, Hekla- and 

 Dijmphna Sounds were examined and surveyed A lot of fos- 

 sils were found there. . . ." 



The fossils collected in this district were of marine animals, 

 some of which are described in the present paper, and also the land 

 plant-fossils described by Nathorst in his paper mentioned above. 



In Amdrup's account there are no other remarks referring lo 

 the Carboniferous formations in this district. 



The collections that have been confided lo me for the purpose 

 of examination are only in part derived from the solid rock, and 

 consist in a great degree of loose fragments found on the shore, or 

 talus-boulders found on the slopes. In many places, however, not 

 only have specimens of rock or fossils been collected in situ, but 

 more or less complete sections of the series of strata have been 

 •obtained, for which reason the localities have been marked on the
