Abstract
In July and August 1973, I made a number of collections in the Godthåb Fjord (now Nuuk) area, partly around the bottom of the fjord, partly in the land area which separates the fjord from the open sea (see Figure 1). The branchiopod fauna of Godthåb area has previously been treated by (1894), but he recorded only 10 species from the area, a number of which were unidentified, and there is no information on the location or the type of freshwater from where the specimens were taken.
Dr Ulrik Røen died on February 9th 1997. This manuscript was accepted in a letter of 20 May 1997 from the editor after changes according to the suggestions of the referees. These changes were made by G. Høpner Petersen, a collegue from the Zoological Museum, Copenhagen.
