  THE 
  CAMBRIAN 
  AXD 
  

  

  zone 
  of 
  Phacops 
  mucronatus, 
  Brongn., 
  and 
  pass 
  gradually 
  into 
  the 
  or- 
  

   dinary 
  waferj* 
  Lobiferus-shales, 
  the 
  Passage-beds 
  containing 
  Cllma- 
  

   cograptus 
  norrnalis 
  mixed 
  with 
  higher 
  organisms. 
  The 
  Lobiferus- 
  

   beds 
  are 
  succeeded 
  in 
  Westrogothia 
  by 
  the 
  Betiolites-shales, 
  well 
  

   seen 
  on 
  Kinnekulle 
  ; 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  highest 
  terrace 
  below 
  the 
  igneous 
  

   rock 
  of 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  that 
  hill, 
  near 
  the 
  hamlet 
  of 
  Kullatorp, 
  I 
  

   found 
  loose 
  blocks 
  of 
  gritty 
  shale 
  with 
  Monogmptus 
  colonus, 
  Barr,. 
  

   indicating 
  the 
  existence 
  in 
  Westrogothia 
  of 
  a 
  higher 
  horizon 
  than 
  

   the 
  Betiolites-shales. 
  

  

  Near 
  the 
  same 
  hamlet, 
  below 
  the 
  Betiolites-shales, 
  there 
  are 
  some 
  

   green 
  shales 
  in 
  which 
  I 
  could 
  find 
  no 
  fossils 
  ; 
  and 
  below 
  these 
  is 
  

   swampy 
  ground 
  running 
  along 
  the 
  line 
  of 
  strike, 
  indicating 
  probably 
  

   the 
  position 
  of 
  the 
  Lobiferus-beds. 
  

  

  III. 
  Christiania. 
  — 
  The 
  geology 
  in 
  the 
  neighbourhood 
  of 
  the 
  capital 
  

   of 
  Norway, 
  so 
  admirably 
  worked 
  out 
  by 
  Prof. 
  Kjerulf, 
  has 
  been 
  

   illustrated 
  by 
  him, 
  in 
  a 
  form 
  well 
  suited 
  for 
  the 
  requirements 
  of 
  a 
  

   visitor, 
  in 
  his 
  ' 
  Teiviser.' 
  I 
  am 
  much 
  indebted 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Broggcr 
  for 
  

   taking 
  me 
  to 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  principal 
  sections 
  around 
  Christiania. 
  I 
  

   would 
  here 
  again 
  refer 
  more 
  particularly 
  to 
  the 
  higher 
  Cambrian 
  

   beds 
  and 
  those 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  Silurian; 
  for 
  the 
  lower 
  Cambrian 
  

   beds 
  are 
  very 
  similar, 
  generally 
  speaking, 
  to 
  those 
  of 
  Westrogothia, 
  

   and 
  have 
  been 
  well 
  described 
  by 
  Broggcr 
  and 
  others. 
  A 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  

   higher 
  beds 
  is 
  given 
  in 
  ' 
  Siluria,' 
  p. 
  340, 
  as 
  seen 
  in 
  the 
  islands 
  of 
  

   Ormo' 
  and 
  Malmo 
  in 
  the 
  Christiania 
  fjord. 
  The 
  lowest 
  beds 
  seen 
  in 
  

   Ormo 
  (7 
  of 
  Murchison, 
  Etage 
  4 
  Kjerulf) 
  are 
  limestones 
  of 
  Bala 
  age 
  

   with 
  Chasmops 
  &e. 
  These 
  are 
  succeeded 
  unconformably 
  by 
  a 
  

   conglomerate 
  (8 
  Murch., 
  Et. 
  5 
  Kjer.) 
  consisting 
  of 
  a 
  calcareous 
  

   gritty 
  matrix, 
  with 
  many 
  pebbles, 
  some 
  as 
  large 
  as 
  a 
  hen's 
  egg. 
  Fol- 
  

   lowing 
  upon 
  this 
  are 
  olive-grey 
  shales 
  (9 
  Murch., 
  5 
  ft 
  Kjer.) 
  with 
  

   interbedded 
  limestone, 
  containing 
  many 
  fossils, 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  

   given 
  in 
  the 
  ' 
  Teiviser 
  ;' 
  and 
  in 
  this 
  bed 
  Mr. 
  Brogger 
  and 
  myself 
  

   found 
  Climacograptus 
  norrnalis. 
  Nididites 
  favus 
  and 
  Strichlandinia 
  

   lens 
  occur 
  in 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  this 
  group, 
  which 
  is 
  overlain 
  by 
  

   nodular 
  grey 
  limestone 
  (9 
  b 
  Murch., 
  Et. 
  G 
  Kjer.) 
  containing 
  Pcnta- 
  

   merus 
  oblongus, 
  and 
  this 
  by 
  (10 
  Murch., 
  Et. 
  6 
  Kjer.) 
  limestone 
  with 
  

   many 
  corals. 
  Formation 
  no. 
  11 
  of 
  Murchison 
  (Et. 
  7 
  Kjer. 
  in 
  part) 
  

   consists 
  of 
  brown 
  sandy 
  shales 
  and 
  calcareous 
  bands 
  containing 
  

   many 
  crinoid 
  stems, 
  and 
  succeeded 
  by 
  blue 
  flaggy 
  shales 
  (13 
  Murch., 
  Et. 
  

   8 
  Kjer. 
  in 
  part) 
  with 
  Monograptus 
  priodon, 
  M. 
  Halli?, 
  and 
  higher 
  

   organisms. 
  The 
  highest 
  beds 
  in 
  Malmo 
  (14 
  Murch., 
  Et 
  6 
  Kjer. 
  in 
  

   part) 
  are 
  grey 
  limestones 
  with 
  Euomphalus 
  funatus, 
  E. 
  sculptus, 
  

   Pterinea 
  retroflexa, 
  &c, 
  which 
  Murchison 
  correlates 
  with 
  the 
  Ludlow; 
  

   but 
  they 
  are 
  probably 
  in 
  reality 
  Wenlock. 
  

  

  IV. 
  Scania 
  (Shane). 
  — 
  This 
  province, 
  again, 
  has 
  been 
  especially 
  

   elucidated 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Linnarsson, 
  whose 
  discoveries 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  

   familiar 
  to 
  us 
  by 
  the 
  writings 
  of 
  Prof. 
  Lapworth 
  (Cf. 
  Geol. 
  Mag. 
  dec. 
  

   ii. 
  vol. 
  vii. 
  Jan. 
  and 
  Feb. 
  1880), 
  where 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  the 
  Scanian 
  

   formations 
  is 
  given. 
  I 
  was 
  enabled, 
  by 
  the 
  kindness 
  of 
  Prof. 
  

   Lundgren, 
  to 
  study 
  the 
  collections 
  in 
  the 
  Lund 
  University 
  Museum, 
  

   and 
  was 
  accompanied 
  in 
  the 
  field 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Tullberg.
