inlanrl, and on the east reaches the side of the valley. On the west 

 there are terraces at varying levels, and in one of them there is an 

 uniisnall3' good section, of which I took the photograph, Fig. 4. 



The height of the section is ahout 30 feet. It shows typical 

 moraine stuff very well stratified. In the lower part are some fair- 

 sized houlders in a hed of sand, and they stand out and produce 

 a sort of earth-pillar structure. I could not find a trace of shells. 

 The hottom of the section is about 10 feet above the fjord. Between 

 the fjord and the lake are mounds and terraces, and near the end 

 of the lake there is a flat-topped terrace which may once have 

 crossed the valle3^ but now the river flows with a fairly even slope 

 from the lake to the fjord.

 Graven Fjord, Hardanger. 



Above the Graven Vaud there are extensive terraces, one or two of 

 which, I believe, are old moraines of which the top has been fiattened 

 artificially'. Tliere are others which mark old water-levels, and in 

 one by the roadside at a stone 20 kilometres from Voss there is 

 a good section showing well - stratified sand with a few stones. 

 There is a fairly extensive fiat at a level of 30 feet above the lake 

 and a smaller terrace 10 feet higher. In it 1 saw the following,
