Abstract
During my brief visit to Copenhagen in 1956, Prof. Rosenkrantz of the University Institute of Mineralogy and Geology in Copenhagen showed me a small but very interesting collection of Cretaceous nonmarine mollusks from West Greenland. My plan for that trip to Europe was to confine myself to some work in the peri-Alpine areas. I was not able to prolong my stay in Denmark, as I had wished, to examine the contents of this collection. Subsequent to my return to this country, Professor Alfred Rosenkrantz was kind enough to send me the collection for an adequate study, the findings of which have now resulted in the present paper.

Summary
Duril)g my brief visit to Copcnhagen in 1956, Prof. Rosenkrantz of the University Institute of Mineralogy and Geology in Copenhagen showed me a small but very interesting collection of Cretaceous nonmarine mollusks from West Greenland. On the assumption that the Unit C of VVHITE and SCHUCHERT and the "shale, bed I" of SORGENFREI and TROELSEN are identical, the present writer ean summarize the previous opinions on the age problem of the deposit as follows: WHITE and SCHUCHERT considered that it is "plainly not older than the Atane age" and that it contains flora of an Upper Cretaceous age.
