 Account of observations made during a journey in N. Greenland in the 

 summer of 1875. The glaciers, their motion and denuding forces, the 

 moraines, the coastlines, &c. are described. The glacial condition of 

 Greenland does not now reach its greatest development, but it is iden- 

 tical with the state of the western Norwegian Fjord valleys during the 

 end of the glacial period. The greatfjords of Greenland, stretching for 

 many miles into the dry land, have on the whole the same characters 

 as the Norwegian fjords. E. E.

 Chap. 12 (pp. 274-303) of this work is written by Nordenskibld, 

 and relates to several geological facts, principally respecting the glaciers 

 and the inland ice of the north-east of Spitzbergen. A topographical 

 map of Spitzbergen is annexed. E. E.

 Description of the glaciers and of the following formations : — 

 1. Laurentian granitic and gneissoid rocks ; 2. Heklahook beds (Silu- 

 rian ?) ; 3. Liefde Bay beds (passage between Devonian and Carboni- 

 ferous ?) ; 4. Carboniferous (3 divisions) ; 5, Trias (6 divisions) ; 

 6. Jurassic ; 7. Horizontal beds of diabase (with analyses by Lindstrom 

 and Teclu) ; 8. Cretaceous ; 9. Miocene ; 10. Post-Miocene and Quater- 

 nary; 11. Eecent. Several subdivisions of the Carboniferous and 

 Miocene beds are made. Fossils from almost every formation are 

 enumerated, and the localities described. Figures in the text show the 

 stratification of the beds ; the extension of the inland ice and the 

 glaciers is given on a map. E. E.

 Gives a geological and partly palaeontological description of the parts 

 of Spitzbergen which were visited ; the inland ice and the glaciers are 

 described. A list of minerals from Spitzbergen and Bear Island is 

 given. Several meteorological and physical observations are made. 

 At the end is a list of papers and monographs (168 in number) of the 

 Swedish Arctic Expeditions. E. E,
