The collections of the Jackson-Harmsworth expedition from the same 

 region only afforded fourteen species, and seventeen of the species 

 studied by Pompeckj were not recorded by Newton. The fossils were 

 found at five localities, and at three of these they were in situ. From 

 the results of his study of the Jackson-Harmsworth collections, 

 Newton concluded that the "Lower Oxfordian rocks," and probably 

 the equivalent of the "British Kellaway rocks," are represented in the 

 Jurassic strata underlying the basalt at Cape Flora. Pompeckj, how- 

 ever, was able to identify four horizons in a much more definite 

 manner. The lowest of these is Bajocian, and probably the lower 

 Bajocian; the second is Lower Callovian, the zone of Macrocephalites 

 macrocephalus ; the third is the Middle Callovian, the zone of Cadoceras 

 milaschewici ; and the fourth is Upper Callovian, the zone of Quensted- 

 toceras lamberti. The Bajocian fauna is apparently without analogy in 

 the arctic region, but seems to show direct affinities with the central 

 European Jura. The Callovian faunas are very near those of the 

 Russian Callovian, and these two regions were probably in direct 

 communication during that part of Jurassic time. It is worthy of note 

 that there is hardly any likeness between the fauna of Cape Flora and 

 that of Cape Stuart, East Greenland. 



In the fossils, one rather striking feature is the paucity of gastro- 

 pods, one species only having been found in the marine fauna, while 

 cephalopods and lamellibranchs are relatively much more abundant. 

 This general relation also holds for the arctic fauna of northern 

 Europe. 



The identification of these beds at Cape Flora gives the northern- 

 most locality of Jurassic beds, since the latitude of Cape Flora is 

 nearly io° farther north than that of the next most northerly deposit 

 of this age. These beds show that the Bajocian sea of north Europe 

 extended far to the northward. Spitzbergen was probably not covered ; 

 neither was Novaja Semlja, and these two islands were probably con- 

 nected with each other and with Europe. This land area may have 

 been extended northward to Franz Josef Land. The sea seems to 

 have lain north and west o'f this land. The Petchora Basin sea is 

 conjectured to have extended north between Spitzbergen and Novaja 

 Semlja, and to have been bounded on the north by land in the region 

 of Franz Josef Land. Spitzbergen is conjectured to have been con- 

 nected with the Franz Josef Land of the Callovian epoch. The Callo- 

 vian sea is conjectured to have extended east to Alaska. Toward the
