GRINNELL LAND.

Dumbbell Harbor.—In 1877 (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 4, vol. XX, p. 488), Fielden published a paper on the post-Tertiary beds of Grinnell Land and north Greenland. In 1878 (Quart. Jour. Geol. Soc. Lond., vol. XXXIV, p. 566), Fielden and De Rance presented a report on the same subject.

At a station in latitude 82° 30′ N., in beds at an elevation of 400 feet, there were secured meager remains of Ovibos moschatus and Phoca hispida. At another station, in latitude 82° 25′, there were obtained remains of Rangifer tarandus, Ovibos moschatus, and Phoca barbata. The invertebrate fauna was found to be identical with that now existing there. In case the beds are Pleistocene they are probably those of a late stage.
