﻿Notes on Fossils from Prince Charles Foreland. 151 



The description — following the above order — of the fossils 

 obtained from Groups IL, III., and IV. will now be 

 given, but before doing so a few words may be said about 

 the literature of the subject. With the exception of Dr 

 Bruce's paper alluded to, no reference has ever been made 

 to fossils having been found in Prince Charles Foreland, but 

 as this island is very close to Spitsbergen, the literature 

 dealing with the latter has been freely made use of. A full 

 list of the numerous works on the stratigraphy of Spitsbergen 

 would fill many pages, so that reference will be made in the 

 text only to papers that have a direct bearing on the 

 particular subject under investigation. I may add that a 

 very comprehensive summary of our knowledge of Spits- 

 bergen, with full bibliography up to the year 1894, has been 

 published by Messrs Eamond and Dollfus in the Feuille des 

 JeiLues Naturalistes for October 1894, whilst more recent 

 contributions will be found in works by Messrs J. Guiinar 

 Anderson, Freeh, Xathorst, Tschernyschew, etc.
