14 per Ct. In samples ]\o. 16 — 25, very few fragmental in- 

 gredients are found for instance as in 23, where 4 are basalt, 

 thus about 17 per Ct. From 3 to 9 i.e. an average of about 

 5 per Ct. of augite is found in these samples , so that the 

 amount of basalt in the samples is perhaps not so large really 

 as would be imagined from the comparatively few frag- 

 ments. 



In the following samples the amount of augite seems to 

 increase somewhat in proportion to the amount of basalt, in 

 samples Nos. 26 — 30, only 2 fragments out of 60 are found 

 to consist of basalt; here the amount of augite in the sand 

 reaches an average of about 5 per Ct., thus an even larger 

 percentage than the basalt. The ratio of the next samples 

 jVos. 31 — 34, undergoes still greater variation, as, in them, 

 only two basalt fragments are found out of 98. The augite 

 here is found in an average amount of about 10 per Ct., and 

 we must thus suppose that at any rate a great deal of it has 

 its origin in various other rocks, which however cannot be 

 accurately determined in the comparatively small fragments. 

 These are the same samples as those which contain very large 

 amount of orthoclase and hornblende, and a closer geological 

 examination of the rocks of the Liverpool Kyst will pre- 

 sumably be of great interest. 



In the samples rich in basalt near Кар Stewart, the 

 old ratio between the basalt and the augite reappears, and here 

 it can be stated with greater certainty, as only a very small 

 amount of foreign rocks can have entered into these samples. 

 In samples Nos. 35 — 41, out of 78 stones, 72 are basalt, thus 

 about 92 per Ct. Of augite about 37 per Ct. is on the average 

 found in these samples, hence we may conclude that about 

 40 per Ct. of pure basaltic sand will be augite; in sample 40, 

 the amount of augite mounts to 51 per Ct., so that we may 

 be somewhat justified in terming the sand Augite- Sand. 

 This amount is larger than in any samples of the Ingolf-
