geological formation being of primary gneiss, granite, and other very hard rocks, will 

 prove that but little change can arise from the wear of the sea. 



3. Ekersund or Eggersund, &c. — The charts of the South Coast of Norway, between 

 Eglefield and Jedderen and Christiansand, were published in 1800. The triangulation 

 was carried on by the same ofl&cers as before mentioned, Captains Grove and Vibe, and 

 Lieut. D'Aubert. 



This section of the coast is dependant ou the positions of Stavanger and Christiansand 

 Churches. Lindersnses, or the Naze of Norway, as it is generally called, was made by 

 the triangulation to be in latitude 57° 58' 0" N. By the astronomical observations of 

 Messrs. Rich and Vibe, in 1781, 57° 58' 48" N. 



Between Ekersund and Christiansand, the triangulation was re-examined in 1855-6, by 

 Lieutenant Schie, assisted by Herr C. Diriks and Lieutenant H. WiUe; between Arendal 

 and Jomfruland, these operations were carried on by the same officers in 1853-5. The 

 portion of coast between Arendal and Christiansand was examined in 1854-5, by Herr 

 Diriks and Lieutenant Wille, under Major Vibe. 



The Variation of the Compass is now decreasing on the Coast of Norway at the rate of 

 about 9' per annum.
