1. In addition to the houlders of sandstone just mentioned, 

 lîoulders of quite a different character were also found in the district 

 round Danmarks Havn, namely, calcareous concretions. These 

 boulders seem to be comparatively rare, only 4 being found. They 

 consist of a coal-black , clayey limestone with few flakes of mica. 

 Their origin is unknown; it is possible perhaps, that they may have 

 come from some sediments, which occur farther north at Jøkel Bay 

 and consist mainly of black, slaty clay; but this is very doubtful, as 

 such concretions — so far as I am aware — have not been found 

 in these sediments. One of the concretions contained only an Am- 

 monite, Lytoceras polare п. sp., whilst two others were very rich in 

 fossils, which however could only be prepared with great difficulty. 

 Tlie most conunon forms are (kirnieria piisilla ii. sp. and two species 

 of Aporrlmis. From the occurrence of a representative of the genus

Gdrnievia we may perhaps conclude, that these concretions come from 

 deposits belonging to the Neocomian. Some young specimens of an 

 AiiceUa found in these concretions seem to point in the same direc- 

 tion. These cannot l)e determined as to species, it is true, but so 

 much seems certain, that they belong to a Neocomian type. 



2. "Aucellabjerget". This locality lies at the south end of 

 the southernmost of the sandstone regions on the east side of Store 

 Koldewey Island. On a short .stretch here Jarneu found conglomerates 

 of a very characleri.stic appearance. Both towards the north and the 

 south the boundary of the conglomerates was fairly indistinct. 

 Farthest to the north (thus nearest the sandstone) the conglomerate 

 consisted of fragments of gneiss, between which a reddish limestone 

 has been deposited. Further to the south the gneiss fragments be- 

 <aine larger, from the size of a fist to that of the head; their inter- 

 spaces were filled with a reddish sandstone, which macroscopically
