Summary

Identifications of new material collected by Cambridge expeditions and a new find from Hopen are discussed with reference to earlier work and to the stratigraphic setting. All available generic names relating to Svalbard material are listed systematically. A supplement to the alphabetical index of records (Buchan et al., 1965) is added.
