| The red iron gneiss prevails in western Sweden in the provinces of Vermland, Skaraborg, Elfsborg, and down to the province of Kristianstad. |
| The formation is very uniform in its character, the gneiss having a red colour and containing small granules of magnetite, but, nevertheless, not a single iron mine belongs to this region. |
| A prince called Haakon the Red now appears as king of Sweden and is said to have occupied the throne for thirteen years. |
