Fig. i68. Curves illustrating the upper limit of lateglacial submergence iA) and the Tapes- 

 line B along the south coast of the Kola Peninsula. The profile is drawn at right angles to 

 the isobases, according to Ramsay's observations [1898]. 



(luring- lateglacial time. If so, the ol)serverl heights of the upper limit of 

 submergence mav have to be somewhat reduced along the south coast of 

 the Kola Peninsula. In that case our computed values of the height of 

 the Tapes-line would also have to be reduced, and the observed heights 

 of this line would not then be too low. It does not, however, seem 

 probable that the observed heights have to be much altered. 



In Fig. T 68 are given the heights (in metres) of the upper shore-line 

 and the Tapes-line observed by W. Ramsay at several places along the 

 south coast of the Kola Peninsula. The stations are projected on to a 

 profile at right angles to the isobases of this region. The upper curve {A) 

 gives the incline of the upper limit of submergence (/. c. the upper shore- 

 line) according to Ramsav's observations. The lower curve (ß) gives the 

 height of the Tapes-line as computed by our formula from Ramsay's values 

 of the upper limit of submergence. This curve B agrees remarkably well 

 with the heights of the Tapes level observed bv Ramsav and indicated in 

 the figiire by rings. At Salnitza and Kashkarentsy the upper shore-line 

 or limit of submergence was not observed, and in the figure is, therefore, 

 given the values computed from the observed heights of the Tapes level 

 at these stations. 



We do not know the height of the strandfiat in this region, but if 

 we may judge from the relation between the heights of the upper and 

 lower shore-lines in the above table, the upheaval of the land seems to be 

 very nearly completed, and the level of the strandfiat, corresponding to
