back from East Finmarkt. Among the species are Sipho 

 Verkriizeni, Kobelt, Bucctnum parvulum, Verkriizen, and 

 Admete iindatocostata, Verkriizen. 



In 1881 M. Jules de Guerne, accompanied by other French 

 ratur;Oists, went to the Varanger Fiord on a " Mission 

 scienfifique." 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 tliat 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 pro.vima^ Alder," are recorded 

 in my lists. 



INLAND MOLLUSCA. 



A paper entitled "Land and Freshwater Mollusca in the 

 Arctic Regions of Norway," by Miss BirgitheEsmark §, gives 

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



Arion suhfuscus, Drap. Mouth of ihe Tana Kiver. 



Vitrina angelica}. Beck. Vardo. 



Jlyalinia pefronella, Charp.* 



Comdus fidvus, 0. F. Miiller. Vardo. 



Patida harpri, Say. " Of this pretty little mollusk Schneider has 

 in July found two dead specimens in the stem of a decayed 

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

 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 pygmcea, Drap. Vardo. 



ruderata, Studer. Elvenes, in Sydvaranger.

* The species to whicb an asterisk is appended must, I think, be received 

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

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

 the authority of G. O. Sars (Mollus. reg. Arct. Norveg. p. 369) ; but the 

 coUunn of Sars from which the names are taken does not rekte to East
