actual specific identities which de Loriol * recognized in several cases when study- 
ing collections from these beds. 
‘The fossils from between Saviarkat and: Kook Angnertunek include: 
Scaphites, two species. Crenella. 
Aclxon sp. Aff. 4. altenuatus M. and H. Lucina, three species. 
Bulla or Haminea, two species. Mytilus. 
Xenophora ? sp. Pecten ataensis de Loriol. 
Anchura sp. Aff. A. americana (E.and8.) Nucula, two species. 
Lunatia sp. Aff. L. concinna H. and M. Several undetermined small bivalves and 
Dentalium sp. gastropods, with shark’s teeth and fish 
Teredo. scales and vertebree.” 
On account of the relations of the Saviarkat-Kook Angnertunek fauna 
to that found in the Atane series on the south side of Nugsuak penin- 
sula, the dark beds toward the western end of Nugsuak peninsula have 
been provisionally correlated by the Danish geologists with the Atane 
series.| Fragments of ferns also were collected in these nodules, but 
they have not yet been studied. 
Kook Angnertunek.—Three or four miles west of Saviarkat, at the ravine 
to which the name Kook Angnertunek is specially applied, the dark 
series is well exposed, retaining the coastward dips. This locality has 
been briefly described by Steenstrup.{ The entire thickness of the sed- 
iments here may not exceed 1,200 feet, although in the clear atmos- 
phere, without standards for comparison, it is difficult to form estimates 
that are even approximately correct.. The nodules, which are exceed- 
ingly tough and elastic, are here more frequently fossiliferous, although 
not more than five per cent contain specimens of value. A fragment of 
silicified wood was found in the bed of the stream. 
Niakornat—Beyond Kook Angnertunek the sedimentary series ap- 
pears, as viewed from the sea, to be at first nearly horizontal, followed 
by an easterly dip, demonstrated by the westerly elevation of a brownish 
ferruginous band. It is possible that this may be merely the apparent 
dip due to the cessation of the strong coastward inclination seen farther 
east. 
At Niakornat a promontory of two knobs of early Cretaceous or pre- 
Cretaceous breccia basalt (plate 25, figure 3), connected at tide level by 
a slender isthmus of sand, forms a curious and highly scenic feature.§ 
As at Saviarkat, the landward knob, which is said to attain a height of 
960 feet above tide, is flanked by the dark shale series so well developed
