2^1 i kilometres, the south shore from Dawes Point is 5 kilometres in length. 

 The breadth at the mouth is a little over 3 kilometres; at the head, within 

 Kulpen (the Pool), i kilometre. The south shore of the haven is fairly 

 straight, with broad, but not very deep inlets. There are two larger bays 

 on the north side, separated by a projecting sandy spit. Klubben. Within 

 this lies a lagoon, ^/o kilometre in length. 



Ferrier Haven was sounded out by Hermansen on July 20 — 23, 1909. 



The haven has two bars, the outer one at a depth of about 25 me- 

 tres, the inner with only i metre of water over it. Between the two bars 

 is the anchorage, with depths of about 30 metres. The deepest part of 

 the inner basin, Kulpen, is 27 metres. 



While the 6-metre depths on the north side of the haven lie at a 

 distance of 3 — 400 metres from the shore, on the south side they are 

 found at twice that distance. The greatest length of shallow is off Dawes 

 Point, where Sørflakket runs out in a north-north-easterly direction. The 

 slope from Ferrier Haven out towards Foreland Sound is even. 



The haven affords little protection from east winds, but it is a good 

 harbour in west and south storms. At the time our hydrographie opera- 

 tions were being carried on, the innermost part of the haven was covered 

 with ice, so that the chart is wanting here in certain details. Water can 

 be procured from several river-mouths. 



The summit of mountain 414, west of Reinhard Point, consists below 

 of a conglomerate in flat layers, above which come tertiary sandstones 

 and shales containing fossil plants. Beneath this tertiary section there 

 are clay-slates of various colours, and limestones. East of the summit 

 there are two faults along which the strata to the east have sunk. In the 

 eastern sunk region, the tertiary strata run right down to the sea, while 

 west of the easternmost fault the conglomerate is found in the middle of 

 the mountain. On the south side of the haven there is only the eastern- 

 most fault, which crosses the middle of the plain at Dawes Point, sepa- 

 rating the sandstones on the east from the mica-schists and limestones 

 on the west. On the north side there are less distinct gravel terraces, 

 and a couple of beach-lines in a rocky knoll. On the south side there 

 is a wide lowland near Dawes Point, covered with gravel terraces. The 

 coast is mostly a low cliff, highest about Reinhard Point.
