 able, continuous profile. 



A sketch by Wegener, shown in Fig. 4, gives, however, a fairly 

 acceptable grouping of the material obtained at the western river,

 given in leaded type near the margin.

"6. Küstenfelsen, Gipfel (nur hier im Tage tretend), westlichster 

 Punkt mit festem Gestein, 110 m.'\ 



The material {N:o IM) consists of a light-gray, somewhat red- 

 dish, fairly crystalline limestone, where the fossils consist of some 

 small ostracoda, unimportant fragments of trilobites and a number 

 of crinoid stems. Under the microscope one can see some frag- 

 mentary fossils of various kind inbedded in a matrix of crystalline 

 calcite. 



"7. Gipfelgestein, wenig mehr südöstlich, 100 т.; anscheinend 

 ohne Foss." 



"8. Gipfelgeslein, N:o 7, ähnlich, mehr fest mit Foss. Steht 

 etwas mehr südöstlich an". 



Of these rocks, there are two specimens {N:os 137 and 156), 

 both of which are a grayish, somewhat calcareous sandstone res- 

 embling the sandstones occurring in the sections at Hekla Sound, 

 and evidently formed like these direct from the degradation-products 

 of archæan rocks. The specimen from the most western locality 

 shows a somewhat thinner bedded and shaly sandstone than that 

 from the most eastern — 8 — which is a thick-bedded and com- 

 pact sandstone. The specimen shows no fossils, but the character 

 of the rock makes it probable that it contains plant remains. 



"9. Gipfelgestein. Dunkel-violetter Kalk mit Foss. ПО m. Et-

 wie 15—17?" 



This limestone (N:o 163) is a dark, somewhat bituminous lime-
