D URBAN : ON THE MOLLUSCA OF BARENTS SEA. 9I 



Joseph Land. From this point the return voyage was commenced, 

 and the schooner arrived at Hammerfest in Norway on the 23rd 

 September, and at Amsterdam on 13th October, after a most 

 interesting and instructive cruise. Important meteorological and 

 magnetical observations were made, deep-sea soundings and serial 

 temperatures were obtained, and specimens of natural history 

 collected whenever opportunity offered. Mr. Grant, notwith- 

 standing the limited space on board the tiny vessel and the 

 almost constant fogs experienced, succeeded in obtaining an 

 excellent series of photographs, two of which are reproduced in 

 the "Illustrated London News" for 25th January last. Dr. 

 Sluyter was the naturalist attached to the expedition, and his 

 collections will be studied at Leyden.
