 chlorite schists or similar schists. 



I did not g-et an opportunity of measuring the height of the strandfiat 

 in this region of the fjord outside Stord Island. But on the whole it gave 

 tlie impression of being higher than in the region further in the fjord, 

 being as a rule perhaps a1)out 30 metres above sea-!evel, and sometimes 

 even higher. 



As mentioned above I found a fairly well developed plane at between 

 45 and 55 metres along the eastern and southeastern side of Stord Island 

 and especially at Leirvik. The distinct plane extending over the southern- 

 most part of Stord Island (Fig. 62) has an average height approaching" 

 this level, or perhaps more correctly between 40 and 50 metres. 



On iVIoster Island the average level of the strandfiat is between 30 

 and 35 metres, but some few hills rise to 45 and 51 metres, and a hill in 

 its northern part even to 55 metres. Whether the rocks are gabbro or 

 weaker chloritic schists or similar schists makes no appreciable difference 

 in the heights of the hills or the strandfiat. The latter is lowest in the 

 southeastern part of the island, near Mosterhavn, where it is less than 

 30 metres high. It is somewhat higher further west.
