April, 1891 . through Norway with the yesey club.

Once at Aberdaron, in the south-west corner of Caernar¬ 
vonshire, near to the sea shore, I found several finely-striated 
stones, which I have brought, as the lines are very well 
shown. The nearest heights are the Rival Mountains, only 
a few miles distant, and about 1,800ft. of elevation above 
sea level, but these specimens probably came from a greater 
distance. Although rather outside the scope of this paper, I 
have brought a specimen of dark carboniferous limestone, 
which I got out of the railway cutting at Whitby, on the 
Whitby and Redcar line. It was at a great depth below the 
surface in the cutting, and probably came from one of the 
mountains of limestone in the west of Yorkshire. And I 
remember, at Sedbergh, seeing similar black or very dark 
limestone worked into steps and monuments in the church. 
Anyhow this specimen must have travelled a long distance, 
and I have placed it on the table because it is a thoroughly 
characteristic one, having the many fine lines beautifully 
shown, and also the generally soft smoothened outlines, even 
until it has become partly polished. 
In this slight sketch of the subject, I have purposely 
dwelt upon indications of the ice action, which I have myself 
observed in some of the less frequented spots, sometimes 
come across quite unexpectedly, when wandering among the 
recesses of the hills for health and scenerv. Therefore, I 
%> 
have omitted reference to the wild recess of Llyn Idwal, 
where the clear glacial phenomena were, I believe, first 
observed by the great Charles Darwin ; also the ice-shaped 
and now very picturesque Pass of Aberglaslyn, to which 
attention was called long ago by Buckland, the celebrated 
geologist ; and for the same reason have refrained from 
dwelling upon the grand Pass of Llanberis, and more 
especially the striking features of Cwm Glas, just below the 
peak of Snowdon, because these have been forcibly illustrated 
and described by Sir Andrew Ramsay; but have endeavoured 
to confine myself strictly to some of my own personal observa¬ 
tions, which have convinced me of the once extensive 
glaciation of our British mountains. 
THROUGH NORWAY WITH THE YESEY CLUB. 
(Continued from Vol. XIII., p.274.) 
It will doubtless be remembered that the St. Rognvald, 
upon whose decks the conjoint Yesey Club party had now 
assembled (July 13), had sailed from Leith on Wednesday, 
July 9, and had called en route at Bergen and Molde, arriving 
at Trondhjem on the morning of the day upon which we
