reason to suppose that the deposition of inorganic material 

 must liere tal^e place much more quickly than in the open sea. 



c. Of nodosarine foraminifera only 1 specimen has been 

 found I in No. 30), and the same is the case with 



d. Haplophragmia one specimen of which has been found 

 in No. 42 in a rather significant place, namely in Scoresby 

 Sund; otherwise these two forms are of no special interest. 



Sponge spicules are only found in five samples from 

 along the southern part of the Liverpool Kysl; they occur 

 in comparatively large numbers , yet not so as to influence 

 the general appearance of the sample. These five samples are 

 No. 30, 32, 3i, 35 and 36. x\s the deposition of inorganic 

 material so near the coast takes place very quickly, unusually 

 large numbers of sea-sponges must grow at the bottom of the 

 sea in this reaion.
