Pr. ediilifornüs Roem. sp. They seem to agree to a certain extent 

 with Roemer's description of his "Venus trapeziformis", which is said 

 to he identical with the species mentioned, hut nevertheless seem to 

 })e somewhat more strongly inflated. Owing to the lack of material 

 for comparison I am not ahle to settle this (juestion. 



At "4. Sænkning" on Store Koldewey Island 4 specimens of a 

 Protocardia were found, which may helong to the same species as 

 the ahove-descrihed from "Kløft I". 



48. Cyprina cfr. mosquensis dOhbigny. 



PI. XXXV, fig. 2. 



Some casts of a (Ajprina greatly resemhle casts which are pre- 

 served in the collections of the Mineralogical Museum under the 

 name Cyprina mos(piensis d'Orb. and which are stated to have been 

 found at Kharoschowo at Moscow. Unfortunately, I cannot find, 

 where this form is descrihed. 



The cast evenly and comparatively slightly arched, rather ohlique, 

 with pointed, projecting umho, which inclines strongly forwards. 

 The angle at the umbo ca. 110°; the anterior margin grading evenly 

 into the ventral margin and this again into the posterior margin. 

 The hinge as usual in Cyprina with 3 cardinal teeth and 1 lateral 

 tooth in the ventral valve ])osteriorly. Muscular impressions and 

 |)allial line not observed. 



Height 14 mm, breadth 18 mm and thickness 7 mm. 



The casts described differ from C. mosquensis especially in that 

 they are somewhat less arched; further, the umbo is more pointed 

 and inclined somewhat more forwards. Rut in the former character, 

 especially, the Russian species seems to vary considerably. 



Another cast from the same locality as the above greatly resembles 

 these, but has a somewhat longer anterior end and in consequence 

 a more median umbo and the леп1га1 margin in a flatter curve. 

 It is doubtful, therefore, whether it can be referred to the same species. 



Distribution. North-East Greenland: "Kløft Г' on Store 

 Koldewey Island (3 — 4 specimens).

 stated to Ьал'е been found at Kharoschowo in deposits belonging to
