Abstract

A collection of fossils sampled during the 1898–1902 expedition of theFram to the Canadian Arctic Islands includes abundant bryozoans from the Lower Permian (Artinskian) Great Bear Cape Formation of Ellesmere Island. From this material a new genus with one new species —Nansenopora peculiaris n. gen., n. sp. — as well as three new species —Streblotrypella arctica n. sp.,Phragmophera patricki n. sp. andKallodictyon spinatum n. sp. — are described. Furthermore, the speciesUlrichotrypa ramulosa Bassler, 1929 is reported for the first time from the Lower Permian of the Arctic region.

Kurzfassung

Geologische Sammlungen, welche während der Expedition derFram zu den Inseln des arktischen Kanada gesammelt wurden, enthalten zahlreiche Bryozoen aus der unterpermischen (Artinskium) Great Bear Cape Formation von der Insel Ellesmere. Von diesem Material werden eine neue Gattung mit einer neuen Art —Nansenopora peculiaris n. gen., n. sp. — sowie drei neue Arten —Streblotrypella arctica n. sp.,Phragmophera patricki n. sp. undKallodictyon spinatum n. sp. — beschrieben. Außerdem wird die ArtUlrichotrypa ramulosa Bassler, 1929 zum ersten Mal im Unterperm aus der arktischen Region festgestellt.
