REPORT ON THE FORAMINIFERA. 127 
5. Franz-Josef Land, between lat. 79° and 80° N. Ten soundings at various 
points along the coast, at depths from 89 fathoms to 145 fathoms. Contained forty-one 
species of Foraminifera, of which Saccammina sphcerica and Reophax nodxdosa were 
the most important of those not found in the southern area. The smaller arenaceous 
types were also abundant. 
6. Matyushin Shar and South-Western Coast of Novay a Zemlya, about lat. 73° N. 
Seven soundings in all, of which four were from the shallow water of the Matyushin 
Shar (10 to 15 fathoms). They yielded twenty-two species of Foraminifera, of which 
Miliolina agglutinans, Hippocrepina indivisa, Reophax arctica, Trochammina nitida, 
Verneuilina polystropha, and Discorbina wrightii were the most noteworthy. The remain- 
ing soundings were from points to the west of the southern portion of Novaya Zemlya, at 
depths of 30 to 90 fathoms. In these cases the amount of material obtained was very 
small, and only two additional species resulted from its examination.
