| Summary: | The present paper is based on the study of a suite of fossils collected in 1898 by Dr W. S. Bruce, during a cruise with Major Andrew Coats in the Barents Sea, on board the yacht Blencathra . The fossils were found in situ in a cliff at the extremity of Cape Cherney, a promontory situated on the west coast of Southern Nowaja Semlja, in Iat. 70° 49' and long. 56° 37'. Contrary to what often obtains in the case of materials collected by explorers, they are all from the same bed, a fact which greatly increases the value of the collection, as there is thus no possibility of a mixing of forms from different horizons. |
