ARCTIC ORDOVICIAN AND SILURIAN CEPHALOPODS 251 
From Norman Lockyer Island, about 8 miles directly north 
of Victoria Head, Dr. Holtedahl lists Haly sites gracilis (Hall), 
Calapoecia canadensis Billings, Streptelasma corniculum Hall, 
Mesotrypa cf. discoidea orientalis Bassler, Hallopora angularis 
(Ulrich), Rafinesquina deltoidea (Conrad), Plectamhonites sericeus 
(Sowerby), Orthis tricenaria Conrad, Triplecia sp., Rhynchotrema 
inaequivalvis (Castelnau) , Trochonema umbilicatum (Hall) , Gonio- 
ceras occidentale Hall, T'/iaZcops ovatus Conrad, N ileus {Bumas- 
tusl) sp., and Leper ditiafahulites (Conrad) . This is a characteris- 
tic Black River fauna, and is known to be wide spread in Arctic 
areas. 
The paleontological results of the voyage of the ^^Fram’^ in 
the southwestern part of Ellesmereland were described by Dr. 
Holtedahl in his paper ^^On the Fossil Faunas from Per Schei’s 
Series B in Southwestern Ellesmereland,” which forms No. 32 
of the series of Reports on the Second Norwegian Arctic Expedi- 
tion in the ^^Fram” in 1898-1902, published by the Videnskabs- 
Selskabet of Kristiania, in 1914. By far the greater part of this 
report is concerned with the Helderbergian fauna of South- 
western Ellesmereland, equivalent to the Keyser of Maryland; 
however, lower faunas also are mentioned. Three Niagaran 
species, Strophonella cf. euglypha (Hisinger), Conchidium arcticum 
Holtedahl, and Ceraurus sp., are described from Baadkap, 30 
miles southwest of the southwestern corner of Ellesmereland, 
on the northern shore of North Devon. Three species, probably 
of Black River age, are listed from South Cape, on the west side 
of the mouth of Harbour (Havne) Fjord, on the south shore of 
Ellesmereland, at 84° 30' west longitude; these species are Haly si- 
tes cf. gracilis (Hall), Strophomena sp., and Maclurites sp. This 
Black River horizon is underlaid by 1300 to 1600 feet of strata 
consisting of limestone conglomerates with marly shales and 
pure limestones which possibly correspond to the Canadian and 
Ozarkian strata of the Bache Peninsula. 
Dr. Holtedahl’s Notes on the Ordovician Fossils from Bear 
Island collected during the Swedish Expeditions of 1898 and 
1899,” published in 1918,. form No. 1 of volume V of the Norsk 
Geologisk Tidsskrift. Bear Island is a small isolated island
