Additional note in reply to Dr. Puchs [see p. 65]. As the con- 

 cretionary limestone is so irregularly bedded, its unconformability 

 should not be assumed ; reiterates that it should be considered Pliocene. 

 Adds that the " argille scagliose " is a petrographical character occur- 

 ring in several formations from Cretaceous to Miocene, its age depend- 

 ing on the fossils in it ; repeats some conclusions as to the two zones 

 of the Pliocene and their unconformity to each other. E. B. T.

 The author examined a coast-line in one of the Norwegian fjords, 

 which he shows cannot have been formed after the glacial period, and 

 which accordingly is no proof of any rest in the rise of land after this 

 period. E. E.

 Corrects former maps as to the amount of mica-schist ; points out 

 that newer eruptive rocks (andesites) form dykes, (fee. in the gneissic 

 schists. The eruptive rocks of the Zwolf Spitz, &c. will be subsequently 

 described in full. E. B. T.

 Adds to his former note that the felspar is a plagioclase, and that 

 the date of eruption is probably anterior to the Trias.
