flowed evenly but having lumped itself in some places. In the 

 hope of being able to contribute to the question of the fjord 

 formation, and possibly to that of the occurrence of faults in 

 these districts, 1 made several attempts to follow a connected 

 sheet in the basalt throughout its length. When I had to do 

 with stretches up to several kilometres, there were always great 

 difficulties, as either the sheets pinch out, or they are cut off 

 by smallish faults, which are evidently not rare, though I never 

 saw that they were connected with the formation of the fjord.

Of foreign rocks within the basalt area there occur, as far 

 as we know, only Tertiary sandstones, and even these very sub- 

 ordinated. I have already dealt previously with their origin 

 and appearance: they remind us, generally speaking, mostly of 

 enclosed fragments ; only at С Dalton is there a real inter- 

 vening layer. Enclosed fragments of other foreign rocks were 

 not noticed by me anywhere. 



In a few places 1 took vertical sections at accessible parts 

 of the sequence of rock varieties, in order to be able to compare
