344 Rev. Canon Norman—A Month on 
soundings given of the bottom of the fiord for a few miles 
round Rédberg all range from 250 to 280 fathoms, while the 
fishermen state that at certain spots 300 fathoms are exceeded. 
I have therefore when intimating the bed of the fiord given it 
as ‘250-300 fathoms.” 
The Bottom of the Fiords. 
The bottom is a very fine greyish mud. With the excep- 
tion of Kchinodermata (more especially Asteroidea), Actinozoa 
of the families Virgulariades and Pennatulidew, and the giant 
Lima excavata (which, however, more usually is found 
attached to the precipices), the animals which inhabit this 
mud are for the most part of small size. The Mollusca are 
almost all white or pale in colour or olivaceous green; as 
typical species in that depth the following are given :— 
Scapharder punctostriatus. Dentalium agile. 
Cylichna alba.

* Species with an asterisk were not found by me in the Trondhjem 
Fiord, yet are typical of the bottom of other West-Norway fiords. 
+ Species to which 8. is prefixed were not found by me at Rédberg, 
but very fine examples of them from that locality have been collected hy 
Herr Storm and are in the Trondhjem Museum.
