(Enlarged six times.) In^the afternoon we sailed out two or three miles to the mouth of the harbor, and dredged in from ten to twenty fathoms on a hard, pebbly bottom, evidently the contin- uation of the beach, and showing that the land was for- merly at least from one hundred to three hundred feet higher than at present; besides Lyonsia arenosa, Kenne- rliaglacialis, and other shells and crustaceans, the interest- ing iW<5«/e',« bipes was taken: it was also found in as shal- low water as four fathoms. This form is less than half an inch in length and is found throughout the Arctic Ocean, is common on the coast of Norway, and its family is now.
