Fig. 104 gives a photographic view of Foruebo Peninsula and the 

 islands and hills towards the south-southwest and west-southwest taken 

 from the top of the writer's house on the hill marked X i'l Fig. 102 in the 

 northeastern part of Fornebo Peninsula. The peninsula as well as the is- 

 lands and the low land to the right in the picture, form a nearly horizontal 

 plane, distinguishing itself sharply from the steeply ascending hills be- 

 hind: Skogumsås, N'ardeås, &c. As the land is covererl with pine wood, 

 the plane appears in the picture higher than it actually is. The Xesodd 

 T.and to the left in the picture, rises very steeply from the fjord, with
