1898-1002 . N,.:ii;. | SUMMARY OF GEOLOGICAL RESULTS. 9 From the higher portion of the brown limestone series mentioned from the Havnefjord district, fossils, mostly fragmentary, have been found at Baalkap in the north-western part of North Devon 1 : Strophonella cf. euglypha His.

Ceraurus sp. They probably indicate Niagara n, but are too few and fragmentary to allow of any exact conclusion. The brown limestones (series A of SCHEI) are found along the whole western part of the south coast of Ellesmereland, except in one place (Store Sander) where tectonic disturbances have brought to Ihe surface the underlying conglomerate series, and even the Pre-Cambrian. The finest paleozoic sections were found in the Gaasefjord (Goosefjord) district. Above the brown limestones come here, without visible unconformity, dark shales with limestone beds, Schei's Series B, with a thickness of 300 m. Fossils were found here, in different localities and from different horizons; but they do not seem, to judge from the faunas, to be of any very different age. The fossils identified, are, according to the above- mentioned paper by the present author (report no. 32) the following: Solenopora sp. Favosites cf. helderbergiae HALL.
