PEOFESSOE HEEK ON THE EOSSIL ELOEA OE NOETH GREENLAND. 
Probably a portion of a legume, like the fruit of Pobinia (FL Tert. pi. cxxxii. figs. 
35-41), but it is too imperfect for determination. 
76. Carpolithes cocculoides, Hr., Plate LII. fig. 9, magn. 9 b. Obovatus, sessilis, ligno- 
sus, monospermus leviter costatus, cicatrice stylari subterminali, excentrico. Hab. 
Atanekerdluk. 
A woody fruit, 8 millims. long and 5 broad, with a very short peduncle. The right 
side is nearly rectilineal, the other strongly arched. The ribs are bent towards the right, 
and reach the excentric apex. It is much like the fruits of Menispermum and Cocculus , 
and belongs, I believe, to the same family. The unequal sides favour the supposition 
that there were several carpels in the same flower. It is perhaps the fruit of M c Ciin- 
tocJcia. 
77. Carpolithes Potentilloides, Hr., Plate XLIII. fig. 11 b, magn. 11 c. 
Many small round carpels, forming a globose body, like Potentilla. Each carpel is 
1 millim. long, quite smooth externally, and provided with a short tip. 
78. Carpolithes follicularis, Hr., Plate L. figs. 14, 15. Membranaceus, oblongo-ovalis, 
bicarpellaris, carpellis longitudinaliter sulcatis. 
Plate L. fig. 15 represents two carpels, which lie so close together as certainly to have 
formed one oblong-oval fruit, dorsally convex, ventrally rectilineal, and provided with 
several curved longitudinal furrows. A second specimen (fig. 14) is much larger ; the 
two carpels are membranous, and connected at the base. Perhaps the fruit of an Ascle- 
piad or Apocyn. 
79. Carpolithes sulcatulus , Hr., Plate LV1. fig. 11, magn. 11 b. Subglobosus 4\ millims. 
longus, medio leviter sulcatus. Hab. Atanekerdluk. 
A small, nearly globose fruit, somewhat tapered towards the apex, with a very flat, 
longitudinal furrow in the middle, and on both sides some indistinct stripes. 
80. Carpolithes pusillimus , Hr., Plate LVI. fig. 12, magn. 12 b. Semine globoso, 1| 
millim. longo, obsolete carinato. Hab. Atanekerdluk. 
An exceedingly small globose seed, with a flat furrow and some obsolete stripes. 
Animals from Atanekerdluk. 
A. Insecta. 
1. Cistelites punctulatus, Hr., Plate LYI. fig. 14; twice magn. 14 b; restored, 14 c. 
Thorace brevi, antrorsum angustato, elytris 10^ millims. longis, punctatissimis. 
Two elytra are lying together. The best preserved is 10^ millims. long and 4 broad.
