4 P. A. ØYEN [No. 5 



the above mentioned summer-months of 1904 as the excava- 

 tions have not been continued. And, as there is no prospect of 

 this being done in the near fu ture I resolved, however, to publish 

 the results already obtained. 



I succeeded in obtaining a very good and instructive section 

 though it was quite impossible to get at the bottom of the sand- 

 lavers on account of a rather strong afflux of water in the 

 lower strata. 



The section opened was as folcows : — 



I. 400 mm. Bluish-grey, fine-grained material being a composi- 

 tion of very fine sand and clay. Some layers of 

 grey or rather reddish-grey sand, fine-grained and 

 well assorted, and thin as paper, may be seen to 

 be intercalated in this composite Iayer that, how- 

 ever, proves to be of a rather monotome character. 

 No fossils were found in this layer. 



II. 15 Fine sand of a reddish-grey colour. 



18 — Bluish-grey clay mixed with sand. 



2 — Fine sand of a yellowish-grey colour. 



5 — Bluish-grey clay mixed with sand. 



1 — Fine sand of a yellowish-grey colour.

 10 Bluish-grey clay mixed with sand. 



II — Fine sand of a yellowish-grey colour.
