In the same year Prof, de Koninck published a paper, " Notice 

 sur quelques Fossiles du Spitzberg " *, in which he mentioned a 

 Fenestella resembling F. anceps, SchL, in the size of its fenestrules. 

 The fossils from Bell Sound were thought by Prof, de Koninck to 

 be of Permian age. 



1847. A translation of a memoir by Baron von Buch, " Ueber 

 Spirifer Keilhavii, iiber dessen Fundort und Verhaltniss zu ahnlichen 

 Formen," appeared in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society 

 for 1847 f , in which it is stated that Fenestella antiqua was found in 

 blocks of Carboniferous Limestone fallen from the top of Mount 

 Misery, Baren Island. 



1850. Dr. C. Grewingkin a work, ' Beitrag zur Kenntniss der oro- 

 graphischen und geognostischen BeschafFenheit der Nordwest- 

 Kiiste Amerika's,' &c. J, gives in the first Appendix §, " On the 

 Fossil Fauna and Flora," a list of fossils from Cape Thomson. An 

 encrinital limestone is there mentioned containing Lithostrotion 

 basaltiforme and Flustra; the latter name probably comprehends 

 what we now know as Fenestella. 



1852. During this year the late Mr. J. W. Salter contributed two 

 papers devoted to Arctic palaeontology. The first consisted of a 

 Geological Appendix to Dr. P. C. Sutherland's work ||, in which a 

 number of fossils from the neighbourhood of Wellington Channel 

 and other localities are described — amongst these a species of 

 Fenestella with curved and zigzag interstices %, and another species 

 of the same genus with small cells and only two to a fenestrule **. 



The second of Mr. Salter's papers was an account of the Arctic 

 Carboniferous fossils contained in Sir E. Belcher's ' Last of the 

 Arctic Voyages 'ff, and included only one species of Polyzoa, Fene- 

 stella arctica, Salter $ J, allied to F. martis, Fischer, and F. crebriocu- 

 lata, De Yern., from Depot Point. This form occurs amongst Capt.
