Freminville'$ Voyage to the North Pole. 03 



collect a rich treasure of lavas, basalts, and pumices. In the 

 vicinity of Patrix Fiord, we found beautiful crystals of felds- 

 path, of analcime, of melonite, of amphigene, and zeolithe; 

 these substances are commonly to be found in the cavities of 

 the lavas. 



I saw also, on the crater of an extinguished volcano, some 

 octaedre crystals of native sulphur, involved in a whitish 

 clayey substance ; also the obsidian stone of the ancient mi- 

 neralogists may frequently be met with. 



There is no abundant variety of botanical plants in a cli- 

 mate so northerly, more particularly in the class of Phane- 

 rofjam.es.

There is a greater variety in the productions of Zoology. 

 The mamiferous animals of the island are 



1. The horse, which is small, but very numerous. It is 

 of great use for travelling, walking with a sure step on the 

 edge of precipices, and over the sharp fragments of basalt 

 that lie in heaps in the paths. 



2. The bull, or ox, is poor and lean, and the island is but 

 scantily stocked with them. 



3. The sheep are very numerous, of a good size, and com- 

 monly very fat. Most of the rams have four and even five 

 horns.
