There are some terraces at the mouth of the
Romsdal about 120 feet InVh. As far as I could
judge from a superficial examination, they are all
composed of alluvial sand. They were probably
deposited by the Rauma when the sea was 120 feet
higher than at present. Unlike the stony clay
terraces 1 have already described, these appear to
be composed only of that portion of glacial debris
which can be carried by the torrent due to the
melting of the ice. They resemble the deposit
now forming in the Rhone valley, and by the
other rivers that are flowing from Alpine glaciers.
I should add, that the Aak Hotel can now
accommodate above thirty visitors. Our bill
amounted to IT dollars 2 marks 20 skillings, about
31. 18s., or a little more than 11s. each. We had
supper on Saturday evening, rooms two nights,
board the whole of Sunday, and breakfast on
Monday morning. Those who take rooms “ en
pension ’’ by the week pay less than this. The
table, bedrooms, &c., are all that gentlemen or ladies
may require, though not grand enough for snobs.
