The various deflectionsof the river-courses are shown in the plan, fig. 9, p. 380. As regards the abundant, and in places well exposed, fluvio-glacialand interglacial deposits in the district, it will be convenient topoint out that the boulders and pebbles derived from the Aare,Kander, and Simme drainage-areas are in the main as follows: forthe Aare, dark slaty gneiss, chloritic gneiss, pale protogine orGrimscl granite and verrucano, in places also red marble and blacklimestone of the Lauterbrunnen Valley ; for the Kander, Eocene slatesand lim
