2. Tellina proxima. 



3. Astarte Arctica (Borealis). 



4. Mya Uddevallensis. 



5. Mya truncata. 



6. Cardium sp. 



7. Buccinum undatum.

At the same place a portion of the palate-bone of a 

 whale (Eight Whale) was found at an elevation of 

 150 feet. 



All these facts indicate the former submergence of 

 the Arctic Archipelago, but this submergence must 

 have been anterior to the period when pine forests 

 clothed the low sandy shores of the slowly emerging 

 islands, the remains of which forests now occupy a 

 position at least 100 feet above high-water mark. 



The geological map which I am enabled to publish 

 from the data collected by Captains M'Clintock, M'Clure, 

 Osborn, &c., is an enlargement of that which was pub- 

 lished in 1857 by the Eoyal Society of Dublin, to 

 illustrate the fine collection of Arctic fossils and mine- 

 rals deposited in the museum of that body by Captains 

 M'Clintock and M'Clure. In perfecting it for its pre- 

 sent pm-pose I have availed myself of all the other 

 sources of information within my reach, among which 

 I am bound to mention in particular the excellent 

 Appendix to Dr. Sutherland's 'Voyage of the Lady 

 Franklin and Sophia,' vrritten by Mr. Salter, Palaeon- 

 tologist of the Geological Survey of Great Britain. 



Many of the mineral specimens from Greenland, and 

 the fossils from Cape Eiley, Cape Farrand, Point Fury, 

 and Brentford Bay, were collected by Dr. David Walker, 

 surgeon and naturalist to the ' Fox ' Expedition.
