% Notice on the Geology of Gottland, from the Observa- 

 tions of Mr Laing. By Dr Traill. 

 Gottland has a length of about seventy-six English miles, and its 

 greatest breadth is thirty-four miles. Its general surface is flat, and 

 in no point does it rise more than 200 feet above the sea. About 

 one-tenth of its surface exhibits an oolitic limestone, bordered by a 

 narrow stripe of sandstone on each side ; which evidently belongs to 

 the oolitic formation, from the nature of the organic remains found 

 in them.
