These faunules are all of Triassic age, according to KITTL probably 

 corresponding to the Ladinian or Garinthian horizons of the Alpine 

 Triassic. There does not seem to exist any considerable difference in age, 

 yet there may be some, and the probable succession is as shown above, - 

 beds at localily 1 being the oldest, at 4 the youngest. According to 

 KITTL the Triassic fauna of the Eureka Sound are closely related to 

 those of Spitzbergen and Bear Island. Of the 30 species found 11 12 

 are known to exist in very similar forms from the Triassic of the last 

 mentioned islands. 



At one locality in Eureka Sound, at Bjerneodden, brownish to black 

 arenaceous shales were collected, in which carbonized fragmentary rem- 

 nants of plants were found. While nothing definite can be said, it 

 looks, according to KITTL, very probable that also this shale is of Triassic 

 age. Similar plant-bearing beds are known, both from the Ladinian of the 

 Alpine Triassic, and from the Keuper of the German. From the same 

 locality, Bjerneodden, loose pieces of sandstone were brought, containing 

 a little fauna, which is thought to be of the same age as that from the 

 depot, Storeen. 



Younger than these Triassic deposits, but older than the Tertiary 

 beds mentioned below, are, at any rate a great part, possibly all of the 

 intrusive rocks found in the paleozoic and mesozoic series of Ellesmere- 

 land and neighbouring regions. Thus the exceedingly common intrusive
