Acknowledgements
This research would not have been poss-
ible without the ready cooperation and
assistance of Jóhannes Jóhansen of the
Faroese Natural History Museum. Assi-
stance in sampling was provided by T.
Addyman and J. M. Buckland and further
fieldwork was carried out in 1986 by M. H.
Dinnin, who, with J. P. Sadler, did much
of the identification work upon the fossils.
A. Moss assisted in the arduous task of
sample processing. The author is grateful
for the comments of Símun Arge, D. Gil-
bertson, J. Hansom, Jóhannes Jóhansen,
Guðmundur Ólafsson, and Guðrún Svein-
bjarnardóttir upon the paper.
