record is at the top of Norway, The record is 20 years
old but because no finds occur nearly to prove
the age certainly, although though the Cambrian, little

has given some evidence for an ancient glaciated
deposit in Iceland or Spitzbergen. Then there

David showed scratched boulders and several
photographs that leave no doubt about the Cambrian

David then described the Permo-Carboniferous deposits
that in Australia extend through 30 degrees from south

to north, E. and W. through 300 Kilometers. Marine
deposits of Permo-Car. age are found all along the
East coast and on the north west coast. To the west
of the eastern area are the country along the south
slate region is scratched. Farther north boulders are
