of the fjord, c. g. at Hamareii (Fig. 63), 011 X'araldsoi (Figs. 64, 65, 66), 

 Ænes (Fig. 67), and Ulvanes (Fig. 68). But it also occurs along the shores 

 between the promontories. Tt is everywhere cut in solid rock, and forms 

 often very cofispicuous and sharplv marked incisions in the mountain 

 slopes (cf. Figs. 63, 64, 65, and 66). 



The altiturle of this strandfiat was measurerl by levelling at Akrc- 

 liaz'n on \'araldsoi. The rock is here phyllite. The ridge of the point 

 (Fig. 65) is 19 metres above sea-level. The level of the strand flat was 

 also observed on Sild Lsland and on other islets along the shore, though 

 the latter are as a rule somewhat lower. 



The summit of the point at Ænes, opposite \'araldsoi, was found by 

 levelling to be t^t, metres above tlie sea, and belongs obviously to a higher 

 level than that on X'araldsoi and Hamaren. The rock is here Archæan. 



On Siiilstz'citol, Kvinherred, there is also a well-developed strandfiat 

 in Archæan rocks. 



1 ha\-e not had an opportunitv of investigating the occurrence of the 

 strandfiat in Hardanger Fjord inside Hamaren (Fig. 21, no. 100), but as 

 mentioned on p. 66, Dr. Reusch has pointed out the occurrence of what 

 he calls a "mountain-foot" or a low rocky i)latform along the side:^ 

 of the inner parts of Hardanger Fjorrl, and in the map Fig. 21 I have
