5, A well-preserved, shallow water bathyurid trilobite fauna of early Ordovician age, and associated gastropods and an undetermined hyolith are described from the Poulsen Cliff Formation of Washington Land, western North Greenland. Two new bathyurid species, Licnocephala sminue and Peltabellia elegans, and a new gastropod species, PlethospiraC!) floweri, are described. Biolgina Maximova is considered a junior subjective synonym of Peltabellia Whittington. The distribution of the genus is an example of close relationship between shallow water trilobite faunas of Laurentia and the North-east Siberian platform in the early Ordovician.
