the farm of Lund in the more central part of Jeløen, betvveen 

 Framnes and Charlottenberg, at a height of no less than nearly 

 fourty meter above sea-level. The section at this locality was 

 as folio ws : — At the bottom of the well about seven decimetres 

 of gravelly clay of a bluish or even yellowish-grey colour was 

 observed containing the following fossils of the usual type, 



Portlandia arctica Gray of length 22 mm. 



Macoma calcaria Ghemn. 



This fossil-bearing clay was covered with a decomposed 

 clay of yellowish-grey colour to the thickness of about 2.8 

 metres in which no fossils were to be detected. 



The whole clay deposit was covered with a layer of sand, 

 gravel, and stones, or even large boulders to the thickness of 

 somewhat more than half a metre. 



At the same opportunity I was also told that similar fos- 

 sils had been found in sinking a well at the farm of Hoppe- 

 ren situated in the neigbourhood. The section had in that place 

 proved to be, in the lower part a fossil-bearing clay of grey 

 colour mixed with sand to the thickness of a couple of metres, 

 and this clay deposit was covered with a layer of sand of about 

 the same thickness. On my visit no fossils could be detected 

 in that locality which is situated at a level of more than fifty 

 metres above the sea. 



And it was not till the month of Oktober 1909 that I got 

 any opportunity to collect fossils at a locality close by, viz. at 

 Fjeldly, a workman's cottage built in the same farm at a height 

 of about fifty six metres above sea-level. On the level men- 

 tioned a well had been sunk through an upper layer of coarse 

 gravel and stones to the depth of nearly three metres, and 

 below this layer clay mixed with gravel had been penetrated 

 to the depth of a couple of metres. Below that clay-layer was a 

 deposit of a rather soft clay of bluish colour. As well in this 

 soft clay as in the lower part of the overlying stoney clay the 

 following fossils were collected: — 



Nucula tenuis Mont. 



Portlandia arctica Gray.
