eroded depressions as no traces of pressure are to be detected 

 but in some scattered places they might perhaps most easily be 

 explained as small indentations as irregularity is rather promi- 

 nent. This section could be traced quite continuously for more 

 than twenty metres in the above mentioned direction. 



Overlying the just above mentioned clay deposit a rather 

 large mass of true till was traced through the whole of the 

 section just mentioned. This till is of a grey or rusty brown 

 colour and is composed of a coarse gravel, quite unassorted and 

 mixed with much clay and many stones and blocks. In some 

 scattered places this till gives a faint reaction to HC1. The thick- 

 ness of a large lense-formed mass of the till was observed to be 

 somewhat more than one metre and a half. 



This till deposit was overlapped with fine clay of yellowish- 

 grey colour. 



Overlying this clay last mentioned, or even in some places 

 resting directly upon the underlying till, is a rather thick deposit 

 of sand, about one metre and a half. The lower part of this 

 sand deposit contains middle-grained sand of a reddish-grey colour; 

 this sand is rather well assorted, even if one might in some 

 places meet as well with rather fine sand as with coarser sand 

 and even with some small stones. The upper part of the sand 

 deposit is composed of very fine sand of a grey colour or with 

 a dash of red or even brown; the sand is rather well assorted 

 so as to completely exclude the presence of clay. No portion of 

 the sand deposit gives any reaction to HG1. The upper part of 

 the sand deposit is partly levelled off. 



It is interesting to note that even between the sections A 

 and B we meet with a rather small section quite near to the 

 foundation plane. This small section, C, is exposed at a distance 

 of about 34 metres from section A and about 9 metres from 

 section B. Section C has a direction from south-west to north- 

 east. The lowest layer of this section consists of fine clay of 

 a yellowish-grey or sometimes bluish-grey colour and mixed with 

 a little sand. It gives no reaction to HC1. Only the uppermost 

 part of this clay is exposed in the section. The middle part of
