An account of a number of observations, made, in 1865 and 1866, 

 during the geological survey of Lojo " socken " in Nyland " liin," Fin- 

 land : — I. (iiant's kettles ; rock-striations ; erratic blocks ; lake iron- 

 ore ; springs. II. Contains a detailed description of an Ss (the 

 Lojo-Ss) which stretches in direction N.E. to 8.W., through the Lojo 

 socken. The plate contains a map of the Ss and its surroundings, on 

 the scale of 1 : 80,000, and a number of cross sections of the %». 

 Stratified and unstratified clay, as well as peat, are explained. E. E.

Notices the distribution, the order of superposition, and the water- 

 bearing property of the Greensand. Compares its age with that of the 

 greensand of Bornholm. The following tabular view shows the ar-

 The outer ring of volcanic rocks resting on Secondary and Tertiary 

 bods consists chiefly of andesite-lavas with tuffs containing remains 

 of land animals and plants, with, in places on the outer edge, brackish- 

 water shells. These fix the date of eruption as U. Miocene. The 

 interior consists of highly metamorphosed Triassic rocks with masses 

 of rhyolite, &c., slightly newer than the andositic lavas, and " puys *'
