b) The same rock, but loose blocks only, containing: — 

 Ästarte sp. cf. Sœmanni , de Lor., fragments of 



several shells. 

 Tancredia sp., one cast. 

 ?Pleuromya sp.., one cast. 



LameUibranehiata gen. et sp. ind. a few specimens. 

 Ferisphincfes sp. cf. Panderi, а'Окв, a fragment 



of a cast. 

 Ammonites sp. ind., three fragments. 

 Belemnoidea-f rsigments. 

 Astarte Sœmatmi characterises the iMiddle and Lower 

 Portlandian ; Ferisphinctes Fanderi belongs to the 

 Virgatus-beds of the Portland stage. 

 The light-coloured sandstone of Aucella River is therefore 

 of Middle Portlandian age and can be correlated with the 

 Virgatus-beds of the Lower Volgian. 

 12. A light- coloured sandstone was obtained by 0. 

 Nordenskjold August 19*^ from the vicinity of Aucella River 

 in the south-west of Jameson's Land. This contained: — 



Ammo7iites sp. ind., two fragments. 

 No conjecture can be made as to the age of these specimens. 



Of the above-mentioned twelve collections only nos. 1, 4, 

 6, 7, 8 and 11 are of any real interest. 



Nos. 1 and 8 a and b indicate that near Dinosaurus River 

 about one and a quarter Danish miles (9,4 kilometres) north of 

 Cape Stewart, in all probability, and in Vardeklöft certainly, 

 CalloTian-beds are exposed ; that these are petrologically and 

 faunistically identical with the Gape Stewart beds and probably 

 represent a direct continuation of these. 



No. 6 shows that Callovian-beds may also be present on 

 Ammonite Mountain on the west side of the innermost part of 

 Hurry's Inlet.
