Abstract
The author completes his earlier examinations of palses (G. Lundqvist, 1951) with some observations. On the palses, boulders are sometimes found. Newly, pieces of moraine and sand have also been observed. Some boulders have possibly been transported to the palses by laps, but there are also examples of boulders which must have been raised on the palse from its foundation by the frost heaving. In some palses there are found boulders of moraine, »moraine cakes», that probably have been heaved by the frost at the beginning of the process. The author discusses the »Gährlehmpalsen» of Fries (1913) and is of the opinion that they have been developed in the same way as the peat-palses. Both are products of physical processes. The same is the case of a little boulder-palse, which was found by the author in 1950. Consequently there are three kinds of palses: peat-palses, loam-palses and boulder-palses.
