instance, Capt. Sverdrup describes the coming of spring in the following 

 suggestive manner (Vol. II, p. 38): „ About the 9th June (1900), the 

 fine weather made its entry into Havne Fjord. The snow began to melt 

 up on the mountain sides, and the brooks to hop and leap over the 

 slopes." Here I will also quote a couple of faunistic remarks from the 

 description of the voyage. He thus writes of the dredgings in Havne 

 Fjord in July, 1900 (Vol. II. p. 72) : „Dredgings were now more frequent 

 and wherever we could get at the bottom, they gave good results. The 

 bay we lay in was an especially fruitful field of research." Gaase Fjord 

 also receives a good character for its stock of marine animals. Accord- 

 ing to Bay, this fjord had an unusually abundant fauna (see Vol. II, 

 p. 112). A special account of the dredgings on the east side of Hell 

 Gate in July, 1901, is given by Simmons (Voll. II, p. 374). From this 

 account it appears, inter alia, that in the above-named waters the cur- 

 rent is very strong, a circumstance which is of importance in judging 

 the faunistic character. 



In the following list of species, there are several places in which, 

 instead of giving long fists of synonyms, I have only put „BmENKAP, 

 Kat. p. . ," which refers to the most recent work of that author i. 



In giving the lengt and breadth of the zooecia, I have in every case 

 where it allowed of being done, taken the measurements at the back of 

 the colony, between the bases of the transversal walls, and between the 

 bases of the lateral walls. In giving the proportion between the length 

 and the breadth of the mandible of the avicularium, the ordinary mathe- 



matical sign, I = b, is sometimes used.
