24 OLAF HOLTEDAHL. [SEC. ARCT. EXP. FRAM 



On Rutherford land we measured the highest at 584 1 feet, and on Bedford 

 Pirn island at 394^2 feet. At Jones Sound the highest marine terrace was 

 noted at the head of Goose Fjord, at an altitude of 466 feet; and on the 

 top of the pass leading from the head of Trold Fjord over to Bay's Fjord, 

 which probably lies at the same altitude or a little higher, we observed 

 errant blocks of foreign formation. Similar terraces were also noted further 

 north in Eureka Sound, though no measurement was taken of their 

 elevation." 



A few more statements concerning these raised beaches have been 

 found in Sc.heis diaries. 



From the inner part of the Foulke Fjord he mentions several 

 terraces, the lower at about 24 m. above sea level, the highei', not 

 measured, hut estimated at 100 to 125 m. In Hayes Sound were ob- 

 served, besides the one mentioned in the report, at 571 f. (174 m.), two 

 lower ones, one at 133.6 and the other 95.1 m. (measured by aneroid). 



Near the winter-quarters of the „Fiam" 1898 — 99, in Rice St., Schei 

 has determined the level of several terraces. Near Cape Rulherfoi'd were 

 seen six distinct ones. As to their elevation definite figures can be given 

 for nos. 3 and 6, the former lying 22,5 m. the latter 117,0 m. above 

 sea level. 



On the north side of Bedford Pim Island Schei collected in clay, at 

 35—40 m., the following shells, which Curator P. A. 0yen has been so 

 kind as to identify: 



Nicania hanksii 

 Macoma calcaria 

 Mya truncata 

 Saxicava pholadis 

 Lepeta coeca 

 Balanus sp. 



In this island a terrace was found at 50 m. and another at 105 m., 

 probably corresponding to terrace no. 5 near Cape Rutherford. 



Also in the Havnefjord district marine terraces were seen in many 

 places (see pi. IV, fig. 1), but no definite figures as to their elevation 

 are found. In many places shells were collected from the quarternary 

 deposits, and a couple of lists from occurrences where the height of the 

 locality is known, are cited below. From Odedalen in Havnefjord, about 

 50 m, above sea level, were brought: 



1 Must be wrong; in the Norwegian text is written 117 m. whicli is also found 

 in ScHEis diary.
