A remarkable lake has been discovered on the. idland of Kildine, in the Arstic Ocean, by M. Herzenstein, Russen neuralist. The lake is completely separated from the Bus by a narrow strip of land, and the water of the surface, which is fresh and flows from springs in a neighbouring magah, is inhabited by fresh-water animals. The discoverer was struck, however, by the finding of an exclusively marine fish-the sam mum ood. Further observation baa shown that under the superficial layor of fresh water the Lake is salt, and supports sponges, san-kamiones and other marine animals.
