layers of coal, partly covered with the fossilized trunks of trees, 

 more than a yard in diameter. The arm of the fjord was given the 

 name of ' StenkulfjoroT,' or ' Coal Fjord.' 



From here they followed the north side of Baumann Fjord 

 back again. They had bad weather on May 15, and were detained 

 in consequence ; they waited on a little island farther west, and 

 next day shot a bear which they had followed for nearly seven 

 miles. Its paws on the upper side were dark grey, almost black, 

 in colour. 



Late in the day, on May 17, they took a line from the point 

 south of Troldfjord, across to Bjornekaplandet, which they reached 

 in the evening, afterwards following the east side. On May 20 

 they shot two polar oxen, of which they skeletonized one. On 

 May 25 they were on board again. 



Besides the animals already mentioned they shot two wolves 

 and a she-bear with two cubs, and they saw several wolves and a 

 herd of three reindeer.
