During a visit to Bergen in the summer of 1915 I had the 
opportunity, by the ‘courtesy of Professor Dr. A. Brinkmann, 
to study the rich collection of Alcyonarians and other Corals 
contained in the Museums of that city. Of this large material 
the part collected during the Second Arctic "Fram”-Expedition 
1898—1902 and during the cruises in 1900—1906 of the S/S 
“Michael Sars”, under supervision of Dr. Johan Hjort, had 
not yet been worked out and determined. On the request of 
Professor Brinkmann I took up this task and am now giving 
the following list of Alcyonarians, including also the few 
Madreporarians from the dredgings of the “Michael Sars”.) 
The scanty material from the "Fram”-Expedition is of 
special interest in so far that hitherto nothing, or next to 
nothing, has been published regarding the occurrence of Al- 
eyonarians in the arctic regions of N. America. The localities 
in question are all situated at the northern side of Jones Sound, 
being fjords and bays of the south coast of King Oscar’s Land. 
The species mentioned in the following are: 
From the ,Fram”-Expedition. 
Eunephthya rubiformis (Ehrenb.). 
— fruticosa (M. Sars), emend. Jungersen. 
== glomerata Verrill. 
1) The printing of this paper has been much delayed, the chief reason 
being that the great fire, which in the beginning of this year destroyed 
a large part of Bergen, has upset and disturbed for a long while the regular 
working of most printing offices of the city. When at last my manuscript 
could be sent to Bergen for printing, I received, through the kindness of 
the author, Dr. Molander’s work on northern and arctic Alcyonaria in the 
Riksmuseum of Stockholm, just in time to insert into my paper a few 
new localities, contained in his work. I do not wish now to enter into any 
discussion of the results obtained or the views set forth by Dr. Molander; 
this I intend to do in my account of the Alcyonarians etc. of the “Ingolf’- 
Expedition, now in preparation.
