Limestones and shales with the _Euloma-Niobe_ fauna come at the top. The upper series (_Olenus_) has been minutely zoned by W.C. Brogger, S.A. Tullberg and J.C. Moberg. In the middle series (_Paradoxides_) three thin limestone bands have been distinguished, the Fragmenten-Kalk, the Exulans-Kalk and the Andrarums-Kalk. On the Norwegian side the Cambrian is perhaps represented by the Roros schists which lie at the base of a great series of crystalline schists, the probable equivalent of Ordovician and Silurian rocks. _Baltic Province._--The Cambrian rocks in this region are nearly all soft sediments, some 600 ft. thick; they reach from the Gulf of Finland towards
