Abstract
THE public will, we are sure, be glad to hear that though the Admiralty have declined to undertake or assist in the publication of the results of the late British Arctic Expedition, beyond matters purely hydrographical, the natural history and geological collections brought back by the expedition are being rapidly arranged and named. The whole of the numerous collection of fossils from the Silurian (Wenlock), Devonian, Carboniferous Limestone, and Miocene rocks of the coasts of the circurnpplar sea have been examined by Mr. Etheridge, the palaeontologist of the Geological Survey, and found to contain several new and interesting forms, which will be described in his forthcoming paper, at the Geological Society, on the Arctic fossils brought back by Capt. Feilden, R.A., and which will accompany a paper by that officer on the rocks and general geological facts observed by him in the Arctic area.
