what less tlian 10 metres above the sea, but the hiqlicst ridg-e of tliis pen- 

 insula approaches 10 metres. 



The low peninsula (crystalline schist) at Xorditcs (see Fig^. 25) further 

 out in the Norum Fjord, shows no distinct horizontal level, but the outer- 

 most portion which has obviously formed a round islet, has on its outer 

 side indications of the same level nearly at 10 metres above the sea. 



At Öz're Slindc (crystalline schists), near the mouth of Norum Fjord, 

 the level of the strandfiat is 12.4 metres above the sea. Along^ its inner 

 marg-in it forms a distinct incision in the mountain slope, indicating that 

 its plane has been developed by sliore erosion (Fig. 26). 



At Hcrmansverk, in Leikanger, there is a very distinct strandfiat at 

 a level somewhat lower than 10 metres above the sea (see Fig. 22, lower 

 right corner). 



The rocky point at Hanirc (phyllite), west of Hermansverk, shows 

 the same distinct strandllat at nearly 10 metres above sea-level. 



This strandfiat at about the same level is observed on most points 

 and headlands in tliis region more or less irrespective of their geological 

 structure. Both sides of the outer part of Sogne Fjord, outside Leik- 

 anger, consist entirelv of Archæan rocks.
