Introduction. 
I, order to give an account of the occurrence of Foraminifera in 
the waters explored by the 2nd Fram Expedition, I have investigated 
some bottom samples and zoological material collected during this Ex- 
pedition at a number of places, more especially in the northern part of 
Jones Sound, along Kong Oscars Land, and partly also near North 
Devon. 
The bottom samples are from the following stations: 
1) The Winter harbour, Havne Fjord. Depth 45 fathoms. July 
24th, 1900. 
2) The west side of the mouth of Stor Valley. Depth 10 fathoms. 
July 26th, 1900. 
3) Sjopolse Ness. Depth 15—25 fathoms. August 4th, 1900. 
4) North of North Devon. West of Kent. Lat. 76° 41.5’ N., 
Long. 92° W. Depth 55 fathoms. August 20th, 1900. 
5) Forvisnings Valley. Depth 2—20 fathoms. September 19th, 1900. 
6) The upper part of Gaase Fjord. Depth 15 fathoms. September 
20th, 1900. 
7) The upper part of Gaase Fjord. Depth 3—20 fathoms. Sept- 
ember 20th, 1900. 
8) The upper part of Gaase Fjord. Depth 1—2 fathoms. August 
2nd, 1901. 
9) Gaase Fjord. Depth 7 fathoms. August 16th, 1901. 
10) Gaase Fjord. August 30th, 1901. 
Only six of the bottom samples contained mud, namely Nos. 2, 4, 
5, 6, 7 and 8; and of these Nos. 5 and 6 were very small. Only four 
of the bottom samples were large enough to be treated by Dr. Mapsen’s 
method!. The mud contained sand, pebbles and various animals.
