They arc, however, noj Hke Hie Heniehini piece, Ihose of Rkmki.k 

 being- niany-coloiired {iiid I hat of Stotj.ky being' a piece of j^ellovv 

 iron-oehre, which acconHng to him probably originates, throngli tlie 

 infbienee of corrosion, from a clayish kind of stone, wliich is rich 

 in iron. 



Formerly Rkmelè ^) declared that the erratic-block found near 

 Nenstrelitz, from which P)KYH1CI1 described his Harj)ides rngosns, most 

 probably was Ceratopyge-lime. He came to this conclusion especially 

 because in the Swedish and Norwegian (^eratopyge-zones is found 

 the species that is the nearest relation to Harpides rugosus Sars et 

 Boeck, and that at the time no specimen of this species had been 

 found in higher strata. 



Now that TuLLBERO ■•^) has informed us, how^ever, that in the 

 lowest, gre}' Ortlioceratite-lime of Oeland a new species of Harpides 

 is found, this erratic-block is much less bkely to be Ceratopyge-lime. 

 The less so, as according to IIemele this erratic greatly resend)les 

 glauconite Vaginaten-lime (= low^est grey Orthoceratite-lime). 



If attention is paid only to the petrographical nature and the 

 presence of Orthis Christiniae, most jirobably more erratics of the 

 same kind have been found in the German diluvium. Gottsche ^) 

 at least makes mention of a light-grey, splintery lime-stone, green- 

 and yellow-tinted, which Lundgren took for Ceratopyge-lime, He 

 also tells us, however, that this stone perfectly resembles pieces 

 of Ceratopyge-lime that were gathered by Dames near Aeleklinta, 

 whereas Holm ^) informs us that this Under-silnrian zone is entirely 

 absent there. 



It is possible, too, that to this kind belongs the Ceratopyge-lime 

 wdiich Steussloff ^) under b described as light-grey lime with a 

 greenish tint and a little Orthis. 



Corresponding erratics seem also to have been found by Stolley ").
