Current directions, mean ice margins from April to August and Arctic/Boreal benthos boundary of Filatova (1957). (After Zenkevitch.) and Brady and Norman (1889) gave records for Spitzbergen. The latter faunas have also been detailed by Muller (1931) and Klie (1942). To the South, Akatova (1957) has noted a number of White Sea species and Norman (1891, 1902) dealt with the northern Norway faunas in more detail. Elofson (1941) adds some new records for the area generally, especially for Bear Island and Jan Mayen. In the west, material from Greenland and the Baffin Island area was examined in the last century by Brady (1868, 1878) and Norman (1877) and in this century Stephensen (1913, 1936) has published compilations for the Greenland region. More recently Hazel (1970) has examined faunas from eight samples from Greenland Seas and nine from the Canadian area north of 60°N. There are no estimates or details of abundance in the literature except for Klie's work (1942) in Spitzbergen and Hazel's work (1970) which gives an indication of the abundance of species in general- ised terms. In this lies the significance of the principal fauna covered here. The present sample contained 4004 ostracodes none of which showed soft parts. It is, strictly speaking, a thanatocoenose, but its dissimilarity to the known Pleistocene faunas of the region, and its similarity to the biocoenoses.
