and the southern end of Sandoi in the background on the northern side 

 of the fjord. It goes southwards with the sun to east, south-east; &c.. 

 over land consisting of LHriken gneiss, with labradorite rocks in the far 

 distance. The second part of the panorama (Fig. 45 B) extends over is- 

 lands (of Ulriken gneiss) from south-southeast and ends in north-north- 

 west looking towards Store Stangen in Fens Fjord. Årsøi and Børtnes 

 Island are seen in the far distance. 



This panoramic view shows that the strandfiat has a remarkably uni- 

 form height in this region, which was measured to be on the average about 

 17 or 18 metres. The farms are lying at this altitude. 



The pictures prove that the hill, 27.25 metres high, from which the 

 photographs were taken, is higher than the plane of the strandfiat on 

 Lindås Peninsula as well as on the islands to the west. 



Further south, on the Lindås Peninsula and on the islands along its 

 western side (Bakoi, Njotoi, &c.), the strandfiat has very nearly the same 

 height of about 18 metres. The rocks are Ulriken gneiss. At Kjclgaiilcii 

 (Fig. 21, no. 53), on the southern end of the island between Bakoi (Fig. 21, 

 no. 54) and the northern part of Lindås Peninsula, the height of the plain 

 was measured to be between 17 and 22 metres above sea-level. Many of 

 the ridges were lying at a level of 28 metres, but at this height one was 

 above the general level of the strandfiat on the islands to the south. But 

 many ridges on the islands towards the west or seawards, on Bakoi. 

 Njotøi, and Fosenoi (Fig. 21, no. 54 — 56), rise to altitudes about 42 m. 

 The ridges on the islands towards the south are on the average lower, 

 and I looked down upon them from the height of 42 metres (see Fig. 47).
