 Part ii. is geological, and describes the granites and other crystalline 

 rocks, and the Cambrian, Silurian, Devonian, and Quaternary beds. 

 Part iii., the longest, deals with the deposits of phosphate of lime and 

 other minerals of economic value. A catalogue of the rocks and mine- 

 rals of the province is added. F. W. R.

 lower part consists of stratified sand, the upper of rounded stones and 

 blocks. Its height is 45, its breadth 800 to 1000 Swedish feet. E. E.

 Upon horizontal beds of postglacial sand are unconformable slightly 

 inclined beds of sand, w^ith small stones, containing fragments of burnt 

 tiles, charcoal, vegetable ash, besides whole and broken bones of various 

 animals, and scales of perch and bream (?). These beds, 12 to 17 feet 

 above the sea-level and 5 to 10 feet thick, are supposed to have been 

 accumulated, partly by the wind and partly by man's agency, about 700 

 years ago, when a castle stood here. E. E.

The Jurassic limestones are cut through and pierced by many veins 



and pipes of " eruptive " clays and granitic sands. Limonite, associated 



generally with oxide of manganese, occurs in these veins, the sides of 



which are corroded. These deposits occur also occasionally in sheets 



at the mouths of the veins, whence the belief that they have been
