 haps a little more.^ 



The general level of the ver\' flat Rott Islands further south, west of 

 Tananger on the Støvanger Peninsula (see Fig. 89), was found by levelling 

 to be about 17.7 metres above the sea, or perhaps between 16 and 18 

 metres, l)ut the western and southern part of the islands is somewhat 

 lower. They consist of phyllite. 



The many islets between Kvitingsoi and Rott are mostly low and 

 flat, marking a low plane (largely less than 10 metres high) above which 



' Alter this was written I learn from kind information I have received from the .Super- 

 intendant of Lighthouses, that the base of the lighthouse of Kvitingsoi is 22 metres 

 above sea-level, which agrees well with my estimate, as this base is level with the 

 plane mentioned above.
