Describes the "beds at Fine, Pontegana, and Balerna. The author's 

 views are illustrated by a Table. The glacial mud at Balerna, Como, 

 &c. is shown to be intermediate in age between a thin gravelly Astian 

 zone at Balerna and Pleistocene stratified gravels at the same place and 

 at Pontegana. G. A. L,

Details of caves, potholes, and other effects of marine erosion on the 

 islands between the promontory of Stadt and the Romsdal Fjord. 

 The highest-lying cave described has its entrance 215 feet above the 

 sea, and almost perforates the island of Sando. The shore potholes 

 differ from the well-known giants' kettles in being more or less broken 

 down on the seaward side. To many details are added preliminary 

 notes on coast-terraces and coast-mounds. The former are steps left in 

 its own deposits by the retreating sea, thus differing from the dale- 

 terraces ; the latter are spits formed by currents, and occasionally con- 

 tinuous with those still under water. H. M.
