612 E. ETHEEIDGE ON THE PALEONTOLOGY OF THE 



sphere, especially as so much has been done by the American natu- 

 ralists, notably by Hall, Meek, and Worthen, and by Geinitz, Dr. 

 Nicholson, and others who have investigated the Polyzoa on that 

 continent. 



It may not be out of place, in the first instance, to notice what is 

 already known in relation to the subject of Arctic Palaeozoic Polyzoa. 

 With this end in view I have drawn up the following bibliography, 

 and regret not being able to offer a more extended account. 



1828. In the " Topographical and Geological Notices " forming 

 Appendix I. to Franklin's ' Narrative of a Second Expedition to the 

 Polar Seas in the years 1825-27 &c.' *, Dr. J. Richardson describes 

 the limestone of Lake Winnipeg, and mentions its fossil contents, 

 amongst which are Corallines f . The Winnipeg limestone, with 

 that of the Elk and Slave Itivers, is considered by Dr. Eichardson to 

 be Carboniferous. 



1830. An article on Arctic geology was given by Prof. Jameson 

 in the ' Edinburgh Cabinet Library ' J, in which were described spe- 

 cimens from Cape Fanshawe, in that part of Spitzbergen called New 

 Friesland by the officers of Captain Parry's Expedition. The spe- 

 cimens in question consisted of Madrepores, Eetepores, Orthoceratites, 

 Terebratulites, and Cardites §. 



1839. The geology contained in the Zoology of Captain Beech ey's 

 4 Voyage &c. to the Pacific and Behrings Straits performed in His 

 Majesty's Ship ' Blossom' &c.'|| was contributed by Prof. Buckland. 

 A limestone was found at Cape Thomson, on the north-west coast 

 of North America (lat. 67° 6' N., long. 165° 45' W.), " abounding 

 with organic remains similar to those of the limestone of Derby- 

 shire "^[. Amongst the specimens collected are mentioned "the 



Producta Martince and other Productce and other specimens 



of Flustrce"**. 



1846. Count von Keyserling gave descriptions of a number of 

 Polyzoa from the Palaeozoic rocks of the remote and arctic region of 

 Petschora Land, in N.E. Russia f f. The forms there described are : — 



Ceriopora bigemmis it, Keys., p. 184 ; atlas, t. 3. f . 13. 

 Fenestella antiqua, Gold/., p. 186 ; atlas, t. 3. f. 9, a & b. 

 „ carinata, M'Coy, p. 186; atlas, t. 3. f. 12, a & b.
