Although chiefly of importance to geologists, this work may 
be mentioned here on account of the intimate connexion of the 
quaternary with the present period of animal life, 175 species 
of Brachiopoda, Conchifera, Gastropoda, and Pteropoda have 
been recognized in the postglacial deposits near Christiania ; and 
only four of them are not known as present inhabitants of the 
Norwegian shores, none being entirely extinct, Terebratula 
{Gwynia) capsula (Jeffreys) and Ccecum incurvatum (Adams, sp.) 
may yet be found alive in Norway, as they may easily be over- 
looked on account of their small size, whereas the two others. 
Tapes decussata (L., sp.) and Pholas Candida^ are Mediterranean 
species, which, during the postglacial period, appear to have ex- 
tended further northwards than at present. In the glacial de- 
posits, 60 species of Brachiopoda, Conchifera, and Gastropoda 
have been found, none being at present extinct, but almost all 
belonging to the present Arctic fauna.
