Finally one or two fish remains were found at a fourth place which 

 IS called S. 0. Haken ami is situated on the east .side of the fiord (4?). 



As regards the upper iioundaries of the series, Schei was unable to 

 make any definite statement. He was, however, able to state that this 

 >andstone series is found from Ren Bay at Hell Gate across Nordstrand 

 to the east side of the entrance to Eid's Fiord. On the west side of 

 Eid's Fiord limestone appears, and at Great Bear Gape this rock contains 

 carboniferous limestone fossils. Unfortunately Schei had no opportunity 

 of determining more exactly the boundnry between these formations. 



Fig. 4. Section at Bregnekleften after Per Schei. The strata mainly consist of 

 tjLiartz sandstone and sandy schists. At A, plant fossils. At B. anthracitic coal, 

 ahout 2 — 3 cms. in thickness. Conglomerate at the top. The strata are somewhat 



over ]00 m. in thickness. 



According to Schef, the same sandstone series appears on the south 

 side of Bay Fiord, right up in Eureka Sound. "At this place", writes 

 Schei, "I belive I could identify the same indeterminate fossil remains 

 and bituminous layers in the light grey sandstone as at localites 1 and 3 

 (at Goose Fiord). There were even the same impressions of plants as 

 at the latter in the intervening thin schists. Unfortunately, during my 

 passage 1 could spare no time for the collection of fossils. I am unable 

 to state how much or how little the sandstone deposits appearing along 

 the whole length of Eureka Sound belong to the age in question. Various 

 mesozoic fossils that were found in this region, however, make it pro- 

 bable that the sandstone mainly belongs to younger formations." 



The fish-horizons thus appear to have the following place in the 

 sandstone series:
