110 POMPECKJ. JURASSIC FAUNA OF CAPE FLORA. [norw. POL. EXP. 



In the above table there is specified the occurrence in the various 

 localities given by Professor Nansen, of the marine fossils collected by him, 

 and described in the present work. 



The successive order of the localities according to their height above the 

 sea, is as follows: 



1. Elmwood, some 300 metres NW. of the hut; — 23—33 ft. (2nd 

 Aug. 1896). 



2. Talus NNW. of Elmwood; — 100 ft. (10th July, 1896). 



3. At the margin of the glacier, NW. of Elmwood; 100 ft., 200 ft, 

 (12th July 1896). 



4. South-western end of Windy Gully (NE. of Elmwood); — 

 370-450 ft. (14th July, 1896). 



5. Watercourse below the basalt just above {N. of) Elmwood; — 

 about 500-550 ft. (16th July, 1896). 



This must not be apprehended as though the different localities correspond 

 to different successive (according to given altitude) horizons in the profile of 

 the Jura of Gape Flora. 



Fossils were found in situ in the following localities: 



1. Elmwood, ca. 300 metres NW. of the hut; — 23—33 ft. (12th 

 Aug. 1896). 



4. South-western end of Windy Gully ; — 370-450 ft. (14th July 1896). 



5. Watercourse below the basalt N. of Elmwood; — about 550 ft. 

 (16th July, 1896). 



The fossils and rocks collected in the localities 2 and 3 were found 

 oose, some on the talus, and others at the margin of the glacier. With 

 regard, therefore, to the stratigraphy of the Jura at Cape Flora, the rocks 

 and fossils collected at the localities 1, 4 and 5 must be considered first. 



In the first place, it appears from the above table that the fauna of 

 locality 1, "Elmwood, some 300 m. NW. of the hut", with its Brachi- 

 opoda, Lamellibranchiata and Belemnites, shows an essential difference from 

 the fauna of the other locahties. Judging from the material before me, the 

 Ammonites are here entirely absent, while in the other localities, they were 

 found in considerable numbers. For the present we will leave out of consid- 

 eration the fauna of locality 1, where the fossiliferous layer, occurring at 

 the lowest altitude in the neighbourhood of Cape Flora, was observed in situ
