His opinion has been accepted by those who have later discussed this pro- blem, with the exception of T. Einarsson, who has argued against it and maintained that this peat is no proof of submergence. In spite of the role the submerged peat has played in the discussion on the shore line development in SW Iceland, no microscopic study of this peat has been carried out until now, nor lias anything been known with certainty about its age. One of the places where subnterged peat occurs is the inlet Seltjörn on the
