SCENERY OF SWITZERLAND. 
ception of a few of the highest parts, as for instance 
the district of the Napf. 
These deposits can be traced from their extreme 
limits at Lyons, high up on the Jura, and along the 
Aar, right up to the modern glaciers. Moreover, the 
characteristic rocks retain the same relative position. 
Many of the rocks and stones which it brought down 
are found in several localities, but some are con- 
fined to special districts. Cxuyot* specially mentions 
the Puddingstones from the Dents de Morcles, the 
white Granite of the Upper Valais and the Galen- 
stock,^ the Euphotides of the Saas Valley, the 
Arkesines of the Allelin Glacier and the Val d’Herens, 
and the Protogine of the Mont Blanc range. These 
do not mix, but occupy the same relative positions 
at the end of the ancient glacier; the Puddingstones 
of the Dents de Morcles at Guggisberg; the Upper 
Valais rocks between Schwarzenberg and Kdniz 
(near Bern); the Euphotides at Bern and Bourgdorf; 
the Arkesines at Seeberg; and the Mont Blanc Pro- 
togme at Aarwangen. 
I have already indicated the borders of the great 
glacial sheet (vol. r. p. igg), and referred to the 
reasons long ago brought forward by Morlot for be- 
lieving that the Glacial period was not one of con-
