On Jurassic and Cretaceous fossils from North-East Greenland. 47)7 



Some specimens of an Aiicella seem — lo jndge especially from 

 their characteristic sculpture — to he nearly related to Л. reticulata. 

 A cast with a small portion оГ the shell preserved lorms the hasis 

 of the following description. 



Circumference short-oval. Left valve strongly arched; heak 

 strongly bent backwards; anterior margin forming an even curve 

 with the ventral margin; posterior margin long and straight, meeting 

 the л^егу convex ventral margin in a sharp bend. Right valve only 

 slightly arched, most strongly in the direction from the front to the 

 hind margin. Both valves covered with very prominent, concentric 

 lines, crossed by ecjually strong radial lines; no distinct knots at the 

 points of crossing. 



Left valve: length ca. 21 mm, breadth 19 mm and thickness 7 mm ; 

 angle at the beak ca. 80°. 



\n the Riksmuseum of Stockholm I have compared the aл■ailable 

 specimens with Lundgren's originals, from which they differ in two 

 points, their length is not so great and the left valves are consid- 

 erably more arched. As Lundgren noted, his original specimens 

 were compressed, so that the disagreement in form is possibly only 

 apparent. 



A. reticulata is stated by Lundgren to have been found on Spitz- 

 bergen along with A. radiata and A. spitzbergensis (= A. Bronni ?). 



Distribution. North-East Greenland: in boulders on the south 

 side of Vesterdalen at Danmarks Havn (4 spec, 2 of them connected). 

 hi boulders at Danmarks Havn (6 spec).

Of this species only the casts of a couple of left valves were 

 found. 



The left vahe with ovoid circumference, somewhat strongly 

 arched, very oblique. The umbo inclined backward and at the same 

 time far over the right valve; its outermost point bent a little for-
