O: brachiopods brought back by the Second Fram Expedition 
from Jones Sound (Gaasefjord) one species, rhynchonella psittacea. Of 
molluses the collection of the Fram Expedition contained 54 species, viz. : 
Lamellibranchiata . . . 28 
Amphineura. . . . . . 
Gastropoda . . . . . . Q7 
Pteropoda. . . .... 1 
Cephalopoda. . 1 
Part of the mollusc material was collected off the west coast of 
Greenland at Egedesminde, Godhavn and Upernivik as well as the winter 
harbour of the Fram 1898—99 in Smith’s Sound (78° 45.7’ Lat. N. 74° 
56.5’ Long. W. of Greenwich); but the greater part was obtained from 
the north side of Jones Sound and especially from Havnefjord (76° 29.4’ 
Lat. N. 84° 4 Long. W.) where the Fram wintered in 1899—1900, and 
from Gaasefjord (76° 48.9’ Lat. N. 88° 39.5‘ Long. W.) where the Fram 
lay frozen in during the two winters 1900—0O1 and 1901—02. In the 
summer of 1901 a lengthy dredging excursion was undertaken up Hell 
Gate as far as Landsend (76° 50.9’ Lat. N. 89° 32’ Long. W.), and in the 
summer of 1902 the north side of North Devon was investigated between 
St. Helena (76° 15.5’ Lat. N. 89° 16.5’ Long. W.) and the entrance to 
Cardigan Strait and Norfolk Inlet (76° 21’ Lat. N. 90°30‘ Long. W.) which 
was the most westerly point at which zoological dredgings were under- 
taken. For special names of localities in this work I would refer the 
reader to the maps in Ritmester Isacusen’s Astronomical and geodetical 
observations (Rep. II Norweg. Arc. Exp. in the Fram 1898—1902, Vol. 2 
No. 5, 1907). 
The whole of the molluscs are shallow-water forms. Most of them 
are from depths less than 40 meters, and 60 meters is the greatest 
depth from which molluscs have been obtained. None of them are new 
to science. However the following 11 species were not formerly known
