The five specimens of sea-bottom above-mentioned, taken at depths of from 25 to 70 
fathoms, and consisting mainly of shelly muddy sands, afford a good local example of 
the Foraminiferal fauna of the “Arctic Province” of Naturalists, at the “Coralline-zone” 
(15-50 fathoms) and the “ Coral-zone ” (50-100 fathoms) of Davis Straits. 
Lagence abound in these dredgings at from 30 to 70 fathoms ; Polyrnorphino is small 
here and rather common: Uvigerina common at from 30 to 70 fathoms, but small. 
Globigerince are not rare at the same depths, but are very small. Truncatulina flourishes 
at all the depths (25 to 70 fathoms). Pulvinulina is freely represented by the small 
P. Karsteni. Discorbina gets more abundant with the greater depth. The simpler 
forms of Polystomella , including the feeble Nonionince, have their home evidently in
