On all the islands to the south of the entrance to Sogne Fjord the 

 strandfiat is well developed and its horizontal plane is ver}^ conspicuous. 



A well developed strandfiat extends alonij the western side of 

 Ilisfli (His Island, Fig. 21, no. 42) continuing southwards on Store Vatsoi 

 (Fig. 21, no. 43) and other small islands, and along the western side of 

 Sandoi (Fig. 21, no. 44). The rocks are here Archæan. 



A photographic panorama of the strandfiat extending over the is- 

 lands in this region, was taken from a small hill surmounting the plain 

 on Figenes, on the southw-estern corner of His Island. The altitude of 

 the hill was measured to be 42.05 metres above sea-level (Fig. 43). 



The altitude of the ridges of a good many islets seawards is some- 

 what less than 28.0 metres above sea-level, while a great deal of the other 

 ridges approach a level of about 36 metres. Many of the highest tops of 

 the islands rise to nearly 42 metres above the sea, the altitude from w'hich 

 the panorama was taken. 



The strandfiat cut in Archæan rocks along the western side of Sandoi 

 (Fig. 44) forms a very conspicuous flat platform on which the farms are 

 situated. I estimated its height to be about the same as that measured 

 at Pigenes, i. e. between 28 and 36 metres above sea-level, perhaps chiefly 

 about 30 metres. The steep slope of the mountain inside ascends abruptly 

 from the nearly horizontal platform. 



A great number of erratic blocks, partly very big, are scattered about 

 on the surface of the strandfiat on this island and on the other islands 

 in this region. 



All the islands west of Hisoi and Sandoi form a very conspicuous 

 strandfiat, which is a continuation of the plane extending along the
