 but too imperfect to be determined).

4. On the north side of Cape Flora: Fossil plants (cf. 1. c. pp. 493 

 495). This is the same locality as that in which Nansen made the collection 

 of fossil plants, which was examined by Prof. Nathorst. It is worthy of 

 notice that Newton also mentions cycads from this place (Podozamites sp. 

 probably allied to P. lanceolatus) while Prof. Nathorst, in the material exa- 

 mined by him, only found conifers and ferns *. 



In addition to these, silicified wood is also mentioned as having been 

 found in several places, but it is not yet proved with certainty that these 

 pieces, generally found loose on the talus, are of Jurassic age. 



The greater number of the fossil forms described by Newton were in- 

 cluded in loose blocks picked up from the talus. Only some few specimens 

 are reported as having been found in situ. 



Amm. (Cadoceras) Tchefkini?, d'Orb. (1. c. PI. XXXIX Fig. 5) from

1 A new publication by Prof. Nathorst proves, that the material collected by Prof. Nan- 

 sen also contains cycad-remains; cf. A, G. Nathorst, 'Zur mesozoischen Flora Spits- 

 bergens'. K. Svenska Vet. Akad. Handl., vol. 30, No. 1. 1897, p. 74.
