Figures and a short description of some cuttings through deposits of 



gravel, sand, and till (moraines) at places in Central Sweden. Some 



notes are given of the glacial phenomena observed on the iron-oro 



mountains, (jellivare, Kiirunavaara, Luossavaara, and Haukivaara, in 



the northernmost part of Sweden, as well as on the high mountain Su- 



litelma. Polished and striated rock-surfaces have been observed 3500 



Swedish feet above the sea-level. E. E.

Gives an account of the work of previous observers, and describes 



the Swedish §,sar, their size, distribution, and internal structure, the 



derivation of their materials, their relation to the contour of the countrj^, 



and their direction compared with that of striae. Notices the different 



theories of the origin of the Ssar, and sketches out a new theory, 



according to which the main mass of the Ssar would be derived from 



so-called "inner moraines " in the lower parts of inland ice and glaciers.

Note on discovery in the W. Hartz at the Grumbach reservoir of IT. 



Devonian fossils, TentaculUes, GoniritHes, Phacojis latifrons^ &c.,in closo 



proximity to the Spirifer-sandstones (L. Devonian). At the Auerhuhn 



reservoir Calceola-beds are seen between ; hence the U. Devonian fossils 



belong probably to the base of the Goslar beds. E. B. T.
