ABSTRACT

The investigated material was collected during the 1898-1902 ‘Second Expedition in the Fram’ to the Canadian Arctic islands (Figure 1). The collection is now housed in the Geological Museum (former Palaeontological Museum) (prefix PMO), University of Oslo, Norway, and the figured bryozoans herein are kept in the collection of type and illustrated material. The expedition was under Captain Otto Sverdrup’s (1854-1930) leadership, and undertook botanical, geographical, geological and zoological investigations in the unmapped Arctic area. Per Schei (1875-1905) was the expedition geologist, and he was responsible for collecting the samples investigated here.
