. The Norwegian North polar expedition, 1893-1896; scientific results. "Fram" Expedition. 1893-1896); Scientific expeditions. CEPHAJL OFODA. AMMONOIDEA. Judging from the number of species and individuals. Ammonites are the group of animals most largely represented among the fossils collected at Cape Flora. The material before me shows that the different rock-types from the neighbourhood of Cape Flora are, in varied degrees, rich in ammonites. While ammonite fragments occur very often in the pieces of clay sandstone, clay, and stone marl, I found no trace of ammonites in the hard, finely-grained, very sandy marl No. 4 containing numerous lamellibranchiate, brachiopod, and belemnite fragments. From this fact, however, it cannot without hesitation be asserted that this rock is entirely destitute of ammonites. Newton^ men- tions a fragment of an undetermined ammonite ("allied to A. Gowerianus"), which was found among the loose fossils weathered out of the strata "west of Elmwood", where this rock occurs in place at an inconsiderable height above sea-level. Possibly this ammonite fragment originated in the sandy, hard marl. ' E. T. Newton and J. J. H. Teall, 1. c. p.
