FOSSILIFEROUS LOCALITIES—NORTH SHORE. 349 
The specimens collected by the writers in this elevated beach were 
submitted to Dr W. H. Dall and Mr Charles T. Simpson, who report the 
following species, nearly all of which are still living in Arctic seas:

The plant-bearing beds at Pagtorfik consist largely of thin sandy and 
coaly shales similar to those at Kook, and lie unconformably upon the 
unevenly eroded gneiss in low cliffs along the shore. In these cliffs, the 
original source of Heer’s Populus primeva, the strata have a slight east- 
erly dip of less than 6°; but Steenstrup, who explored the ravines along 
the Pagtorfik stream, found a light coastward (north) dip at 245 feet 
above tide, and at an altitude of 892 feet he observed a dip of 380° to the 
northeast. 
The following incomplete list of the plants collected by the writers at 
Pagtorfik seems to be characteristic of the Kome series : * 
Taonurus sp. Zamites speciosus Hr. Kks. 
Pteris frigida Hr. Kk. 7 Z. arcticus Goepp.? Kks. 
Gleichenia gieseckiana Hr. Kixps. Inolepsis imbricata Hr. Kkps. 
G. zippei (Corda) Hr. Kkps. Frenelopsis hoheneggeri Ett. Kops. 
G. comptonizfola (Ett.) Hr. Ks. Cyparissidium gracile Hr. Kkps. 
G. nordenskioldi Hr. Kkps. i Sequoia ambigua Hr. Kkps. 
G. gracilis Hr.? Kkps. Sequoia gracilis Hr.? Kkps. 
Nathorstia angustifolia Hr. Kp. S. schmittiana Hr. Kops. 
Nilssonia johnstrupi Hr. A. Pinus crameri Hr. Kkps. 
* Unfortunately the reduced time allowed for the work in Greenland made it impracticable to 
make so large collections at many of the localities as was desired and at first intended.
