The position of the stations where these fossils were found 

 in the Arctic Expedition is as follows : — 



No. 1. N. lat. 82° 27', W. long. 61° 42'. Shell Flats, 200 feet 

 above the present level of the sea ; sandy mud, inter- 

 stratified with layers of moss (Moss). 



No. 2. N. lat. 82° 32'. North of Dumbbell Harbour, 23rd 

 July, 1876 (Egerton). 



No. 3. N. lat. 82° 33'. Kane Valley ; mud beds, 40 feet 

 (Feilden). 



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

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

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

 (Egerton). 



No. 5. Plain between Polaris Bay and Newman's Bay, 600 

 feet (Hart). 



No. 6. Franklin-Pierce Bay ; " ancient mud beds, 180 feet " 

 (Hart). 



No. 7. Cape Frazer ; " 10 feet above sea-level" (Hart). 



No. 8. Bivouac Plain ; " old-sea bottom " (Hart). 



No. 9. Floeberg Beach; "mud banks, 200 feet" (Hart). 

 The latitude is not marked; but Dr. Moss tells me 

 this station is near No. 1. 



No. 10. Plain, Musk-ox Bay; " 100 feet" (Hart). 



No. 11. Near Simmoud's Isle, towards Cape Joseph Henry; 

 "40 feet, October 1875 (Feilden). 



No. 12. Isthmus, Cape Joseph Henry (Feilden). 



The last station was the most northern. 



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 altogetlier 21 species.
