al the Conglomerate section did not much exceed the level of the 

 bituminous limestone and the sandstone superimposed on it, i.e., 200 

 — 220 metres above the sea. 



There are no specimens from a higher level, but only a loose 

 fragment which was obtained at a height of 170 m. above the sea 

 (N:o 17 4-), but which probably comes from a higher bed above the 

 bituminous limestone. The rock is a gray, dense, clayey limestone, 

 probably with partings of a marly or shaly nature; it contains rich 

 fragments of fossils and, of megascopical remains, an Euomphaliis 

 and a number of small Fiisulinœ. 



On the shore below the cliff, there have been collected a number 

 of free-lying boulders of various limestones, partly fossiliferous. Some 

 are stated to have been found W. of Koch's section and have been 

 mentioned in connection with that locality. Of others nothing more 

 is said respecting the locality where they were found than "Fugle- 

 fjældet", and have probably been collected somewhat more to the 

 east than the profiles, and below the Mallemukfjæld itself. A great 

 number of these specimens must be considered as being derived 

 from the upper limestone strata in the Mallemukfjæld. These spe- 

 cimens will be discussed somewhat later on, in connection with the 

 collections that were made of free-lying stones at Eskimo Naze, 

 and in consequence of the great agreement existing between these 

 rock-specimens, one can, with tolerably great certainty, assume the 

 identity of some of them. 



We shall, instead, now continue the discussion of this profile, 

 especially as compared with the profile contributed by Jarner to 

 Nathorst's paper on the plant-fossils. 



For the sake of lucidity, we must review the series of strata 

 that have been observed at the three localities W. of the Mallemuk- 

 fjæld. 



1) W. of Koch's section. 



There are specimens of sandstone from 85 and 155 metres above 

 the sea, and between these levels, shales have been found contain- 

 ing plant-fossils. Of the occurrence of limestone in the profile we 

 know only that l)oulders of limestone have been collected on the 

 shore. 



2) Koch's secti on. 



At the following levels characteristic rocks have been observed 

 in the solid rock :
