No. 4. N. lat. 82° 35'. Blackcliff Bay, " in great quantities 

 at all heiglits up to 100 feet above present sea-level ;" 

 Port Foulke, " 300-400 feet above present sea-level " 

 (Egerton) .

To avoid repetition, the number of the station and the name 

 of the discoverer only will be given. The letters "ft." signify 

 the height in feet above the present level of the sea, and 

 " fms," the depth in fathoms of six feet ; " 1. w." stands for 

 low-water mark at spring-tides. The fossil species of Mol- 

 lusca are 18, of Actinozoa 1, of Foraminifera 1, and of marine 

 plants 1, being altogether 2l species.
