In the Arctic Seas Part 31

9. _Calophyllum Phragmoceras_ (Salter). Sutherland; Pl. VI. Fig. 4.

10. _Syringopora geniculata._ 11. An undescribed species of _Macrocheilus_.

No. IV. BEECHEY ISLAND. (Lat. 74 40' N.; Long. 92 W.).

1. Orthoceras (species).

2. Great mult.i.tudes of _Atrypa phoca_, forming, in fact, a dark-colored earthly Atrypa limestone.

3. With these were a.s.sociated many species of Loxonema, sometimes so abundant as to form a pale pink and whitish Loxonema limestone.

4. A species of ribbed Atrypa.

5. Crinoidal limestone in abundance.

6. _Syringopora reticulata._ 7. _Calophyllum phragmoceras_ (Salter). Sutherland; Pl. VI. Fig. 4.

8. _Cyathophyllum caespitosum._ 9. _Cyathophyllum articulatum_ (Edwardes and Haime).

10. _Calamopora Gothlandica._ 11. _Calamopora alveolaris._ 12. _Favistella Franklini_ (Salter). Sutherland; Pl. VI. Fig. 3.

13. _Clisiophyllum Salteri._ Sutherland; Pl. VI. Fig. 7.

14. _Cyathophyllum_ (species).

15. _Loxonema Salteri_, described by Mr. Slater in Sutherland's 'Voyage to Wellington Channel;' Pl. V. Fig. 19.

This is a fine slab of limestone, almost together composed of the remains of _Loxonema Salteri_ and _Atrypa phoca_. It appears to have been quietly deposited at the bottom of a deep submarine depression, swarming with Pyramidellidae and deep-water Brachiopoda. The physical conditions indicated by the fossils are also rendered probable by the rock itself, which consists of fine grey limestone, subcrystalline, and intimately blended with the finest and most delicate description of mud, such as could only be found where the water was deep, and all currents far removed.

No. V. CORNWALLIS ISLAND, a.s.sistance Bay (Lat 74 40' N.; Long. 94 W.).

1. _Orthoceras Ommaneyi_ (Salter). Sutherland; Pl. V. Figs. 16, 17.

No. VI. CAPE YORK, Lancaster Sound (Lat. 73 50' N.; Long. 87 W.).

A specimen of the same fossil coral which I have named, doubtfully, from Beechey Island, as Favosites or _Calamopora Gothlandica_; it is not impossible, however, that it is not a Calamopora at all, but a species of Chaetetes.

No. VII. POSSESSION BAY, South entrance into Lancaster Sound (Lat. 73 30' N.; Long. 77 20' W.).

Specimens of brown earthy limestone, with a fetid smell when struck with a hammer; resembles closely the limestone of Cape York, Lancaster Sound.

1. _Maclurea_ sp.

2. _Cyathophyllum helianthoides_ (Goldfuss).

The limestone at this locality is white and saccharoid, with large rhombohedral crystals of calcspar.

[31]No. IX. CAPE FARRAND, East side of Boothia (Lat. 71 38'; Long. 93 35' W.).

3. _Atrypa_ (ribbed sp.) 4. _Calamopora Gothlandica_ (Goldfuss).

4. _Loxonema Salteri._ Sutherland; Pl. V. Fig. 18.

The cream-colored chalky limestone found on the west side of Prince of Wales' Island here occurs, and is generally dest.i.tute of fossils, like that of Prince of Wales' Land.

[32]No. XI. FURY POINT (Lat. 72 50' N.; Long. 92 W.).

1. _Cromus Arcticus._ Journ. R. D. S., Vol. I. Pl. VI.
