64 SCENERY OF SWITZERLAND. 
Hotel, which is situated in another Eocene synclinal. 
The two principal ridges of the mountain, those of 
the Tomlishorn and Matthom, are formed of Schrat- 
tenkalk (Urgonian), while the valley which separates 
them is an Eocene synclinal — a continuation of that 
in which the Hotel Bellevue stands. 
Glarnisch Double Fold. 
In some cases the strata have been pushed for 
considerable distances one over the other — a fact 
which might seem incredible, but of which we have 
well-established instances in the Scotch highlands and 
elsewhere. 
One of the most wonderful cases occurs in the 
mountains between the Linththal and the Rhine. 
The strata have been compressed in a great double 
fold, as is shown in Fig. 91. 
This double fold seemed so incredible that Studer, 
by whom it was first observed, hesitated to publish 
it. The subsequent researches of Heim, in his opinion, 
however, place it beyond a doubt. Fig. gi is a sec- 
tion from the Walen See, showing the remarkable folds 
of the Churfirsten, to the Rhine valley at Waldhaus 
Films. 
The manner in which the double fold dies away 
towards the east has not yet been clearly explained.
