Baron Ferencz Nopcsa, Jr., then gave some account of the 

 Geology of Northern Albania. He said that he had examined 

 the greater part of the Province of Skutari in Western Turkey, and 

 recognized three distinct structural units : namely, the North 

 Albanian platform, the folded Tsukali, and the eruptive region of 

 Merdita. In the first region Mesozoic limestones of all periods 

 predominate ; in the second region Mesozoic radiolarian chert is 

 found ; while in the third region Mesozoic clastic rocks, volcanic 

 tuffs, and eruptive masses are abundant. The first and third units 

 are not folded, but are, at least in part, overthrusts from the north 

 and south respectively above the second (intermediate) unit, which 

 is strongly folded. In Northern Albania Upper Carboniferous and 

 Permian rocks are also distinguishable, and there is an Eocene 

 Flysch.
