norvegicum and Bryograptus kjeruifi. According to the data given by the<br />

International Stratigraphical Lexicon, 1956, vol. I, fasc.3a IV, Hede's<br />

(1951) Zone of Adelograptus hunnebergensis is correlative with part of the<br />

British Zone of Bryograptus (fig. 19).<br />

At Kopingsklint the Drepanoistodus acuminatus Zone and the Drepanoistodus<br />

numarcuatus/Paroistodus amoenus Zone together cover member<br />

Dk 1, which is the "Ceratopyge shale" or the Zone of Shumardia according<br />

to Tjernvik (1956) (see figs. 16 and 19). Near Horns Udde, in section 14, the<br />

Drepanoistodus numarcuatus/Paroistodus amoenus Zone coincides with<br />

Tjernvik's "Ceratopyge shale" and thus with his Zone of Shumardia as well<br />

(fig. 18). According to Tjernvik (1956) the Zone of Shumardia is equivalent<br />

to the Swedish Zone of Cionograptus heres. According to the data given by<br />

the International Stratigraphical Lexicon, 1956, vol. I, fasc. 3a IV, the Zone<br />

of Shumardia might be equivalent to part of the British Zone of Bryograptus<br />

(fig. 19).<br />

The Drepanodus arcuatus Zone in member Kk 1 at Kopingsklint would be<br />

equivalent to the Zone of Apatokephalus serratus (fig. 16), which is considered<br />

by Tjernvik (1956, p. 177) to be the uppermost part of the Tremadocian<br />

in Sweden. The Zone of Apatokephalus serratus could not be correlated<br />

with the graptolite-zonations.<br />

Neither the Drepanodus arcuatus Zone, nor the Prioniodus deitatus Zone<br />

in member Kk2 near Horns Udde (see locality 2, fig. 5) can be correlated<br />

with Tjernvik's (1956) zonation, as this rock-sequence was not studied by<br />

that author.<br />

The Drepanoistodus inconstans Zone and the Triangulodus subtilis/<br />

Gothodus microdentatus Zone together cover the main part of member Kk2<br />

at Kopingsklint and thus correspond to Tjernvik's Zone of Plesiomegalaspis<br />

armata (fig. 16). Elsewhere in Sweden the limestones with the Piesiomega-<br />

Iaspis armata Zone were found together with shales, from which Tjernvik<br />

collected a graptolite fauna, possibly correlative with the British Zone of<br />

Dichograptus, which is at the base of the Ordovician Arenig Series (fig. 19).<br />

Between Aleklinta and Djupvik, the Prioniodus elegans/Oelandodus<br />

eiongatus Zone, the Stolodus stoIa Zone, the Protopanderodus rectus/<br />

Oelandodus costatus Zone, the Protopanderodus rectus/Oepikodus evae<br />

Zone and the Oistodus lanceolatus/Prioniodus deltatus Zone together seem<br />

to correspond to Tjernvik's Zone of Plesiomegalaspis planilimbata (fig. 17).<br />

At Kopingsklint the Protopanderodus rectus/Oepikodus evae Zone is the<br />

only one of the Aleklinta suite that is present. It forms here part of<br />

Tjernvik's Zone of Plesiomegalaspis planilimbata also (fig. 16). The Protopanderodus<br />

rectus/Oepikodus evae Zone from the upper portion of member
