 Achnete undatocostata, Verkriizen. 



In 1881 j\l. Jules de Gueine, accompanied by other French 

 naturalists, went to the Varanger Fiord on a " Mission 

 scientifique." Two papers on the expedition were published 

 by M. de Guerne |. These naturalists went in their vessel 

 ' Coligny ' to Elvenes, at the mouth of the Pasvik River, in 

 order that they might proceed thence to Lake Onega^ and 

 thus they dredged in Klosterelv Fiord. The only list of 

 Marine Invertebrata published by them is contained in the 

 second paper. It is one of 97 species of Mollusca, which, 

 with the exception of '' Rissoa proxlma, Alder," are recorded 

 in my lists. 



INLAND MOLLUSCA. 



A paper entitled ''Land and Freshwater Mollusca in the 

 Arctic Regions of Norway," by Miss Birgithe Esmark §, gives 

 the following list of the species known in East Finmark : — 



Avion suhfuscus, Drap. Mouth of the Tana River. 

 Vitrlaa aiigelicce, Beck. Vardo. 

 Ili/alinia j)etronella, Charp.* 

 Conulus fulvus, 0. F. Midler. Vardo. 



Fatula hcaya, Say. " Of this pretty little mollusk Schneider has 

 iu July found two dead specimeus in the stem of a decayed 

 birch-tree at Kirchenes in South Varanger. It was first fouud 

 in North America, later in the country of Amur, but not yet 

 in Siberia, while in Finland it goes as far as the shores of the 

 Arctic Ocean." 

 Patula jiygmoea, Drap. Vardu. 



ruderata, Studer. Elvenes, in Sydvaranger.

* The species to which an asterisk is appended must, I tliink, be received 

 with doubt. Miss Esmark does not give any locality for them, but has 

 introduced them into the East Fimuark column appareutly (see p. 95) on 

 the authority of G. O. Sars (Mollus. reg. Arct. Norveg. p. 3G9) ; but the 

 column of Sars from which the names are taken does not relate to East
