and north-northwest 



rocks, wliile Radoi clv'efly consists of young-er crystalline schists (I'lriken 

 gneiss) and in some i^arts of labradorite rocks. 



Ahlmann has visited Sæloi or Hjelmen, and says [1919. p. 102^ that 

 there is a general level between 20 and 25 metres above the sea. "In 

 certain places along the western side we can also distinguish a lower level 

 of denudation at 10 — 14 m." 



Tn the Manger district, in the middle portion of Radoi, Ahlmann 

 distinguishes "two levels: one at 12 — 16 m. above sea-level, and the other 

 at 33 — 40 m. al)Ove sea-level. The first-namerl is considerably smaller m 

 extent than the latter, but seems to be somewhat more level. It extends 

 c|uite near the shore as an open plain, luit also stretches in as bays into 

 the higher level. Perhaps we may include in this level als(T the narrow 

 ledges which in certain places occur along the valleys and hollows at the 

 height of about 12 m. above sea-level" [19 19, p. 99]. I know the Radoi 

 and the Alanger district very well, l)ut have not been ashore there for 

 many years, and not with the purpose of studying the strandfiat. Ahl- 

 mann's description agrees, however, exactlv with my recollection of it,
