﻿SUMMARY OF THE CONTENTS. 699 



An attempt has been made to prove that the „zirphæa-strata" 

 of Vendsyssel (the northemmost part of Jutland), although corre- 

 sponding with about 50— 80^/oo of upHft are contemporaneous, 

 not with the lower, but with the upper mya-banks of Smålenene. 

 The maximum of subsidence in Vendsyssel arrived as early as 

 the deposition of the older yoldia clay; in accordance with this, 

 the uplift began earlier here than in the Kristiania-region. In 

 Vendsyssel, therefore, the land had risen nearly to its present 

 level at a time when, in the southern part of the Kristiania 

 region, V4 — Va only of the total uplift was accomplished. 



The table on p. 308 gives a synopsis of the comparison 

 between Vendsyssel and the Kristianiaregion, showing the corre- 

 s|)onding deposits and percentages of submergence and uplift^). 



P. 309. In Scania (S- Sweden). Also the uplift was nearly 

 fmished (during a time of high arctic climate), while at Kristiania 

 only an insignificant part of the rise was accomphshed. 



Pp. 310—327 gi ve a brief discussion on the wellknown 

 shell-banks, (saxicava-banks) in the environs of Uddevalla. An 

 attempt has been made to prove that the conclusions, which can 

 be drawn from these occurrences also agree with the results of 

 comparison between the deposits of Vendsyssel and the Kri- 

 stiania-region. 



The conclusions about the contemporaneous levels of the 

 shorehnes during the different phases of submergence and uplift, 

 on the area between Jutland and Kristiania, are illustrated by 

 the figures on p. 329—332. In these diagrams, an arrow with 

 the point turned upwards indicates uplift, with the point turned 

 downwards, submergence; and arrow with points at both ends 

 indicates maximum of submergence, with two points at both ends 

 maximum of uplift (after the last ice-covering). A + indicates 

 that the land has been situated higher, a ^ that it has been 

 situated lower than at present. — The figures indicate metres.

1) In the table the Norwegian term., sænTcning, nieans submergence, and 

 liævning, means upHft.
