Tidrnevig up to within 100 feet or so of the col or water-parting, immediately 
above which the rocks give no evidence of having been subjected to glacial 
abrasion. The col we found to be 1693 feet (516 metres) above the sea, and 
the glaciation came close up to this level; the rocks upon the col, however, 
were much broken up by frost, but abraded rocks with the characteristic 
glaciated contour certainly reached 1600 feet. We saw no striz at Tidrnevig, 
but the sea-ward slopes of Stromée opposite Osterée show well-marked 
roches moutonnées between Tidrnevig and Haldervig, and much further south, 
as we could see very plainly from the high grounds of Osterée. 
Perhaps the best preserved roches moutonnées we anywhere observed were 
in Osterde and Sandée. It was with considerable interest that we visited the 
northern portion of the former island, for we felt that the evidence to be 
gathered there would go a long way to settle the question which we had come 
to solve. No difficulty was experienced in finding the locality described so 
long ago by ALLAN, and subsequently visited by CHamBeErs, but the strie, 
instead of being “directed from the north,” had clearly been graved by ice 
coming from quite the opposite point of the compass. The Kodlen peninsula 
we found glaciated all over, the roches moutonnées on both sides of the isthmus 
being beautifully perfect, and showing Séoss- and Lee-seiten in the most 
admirable manner. In many places the striz are well seen, and long ruts and 
channelings or grooves and trenches, well smoothed and ice-worn, traverse the 
rock-surface. The direction of the striz, ruts, and grooves varied a little from 
N. 10° W. to N. 10° E.—the variation being evidently due to the form of the 
ground. 
We traced the glaciated contour up toa height of 1302 feet (897 metres), - 
which was the summit level of the pass leading from Eide to Funding, but the 
slopes facing the sound between Osterde and Stromie seemed to be glaciated 
to a somewhat greater height. The direction of glaciation upon those slopes, 
so far as we could observe them, seemed to be in a direction corresponding 
with the trend of the sound, namely from 8.S.E. to N.N.W. Crossing the 
ridge to Funding, we found that the glaciation pointed east into. Fundingsfiord, 
and that ice had evidently gone down the valley. The rugged mountains 
overlooking the upper reaches of Fundingsfiord from the east appeared con- 
spicuously glaciated in the direction of the fiord, but the upper parts of the 
rough hills between that and Andafiord were above the limits of glaciation. 
At Andafiord we got striz upon a surface of basalt under boulder-clay. The 
strize pointed down the fiord or E. 40° N. 
The rugged promontory between Leervigsfiord and Gidtheviig shows strong 
marks of glacial abrasion in the direction of those fiords, but the higher parts 
of the ridge project above the glaciated area. The southern shores of Gidthe- 
viig are well rubbed in the same direction. Between Giéthe and Skaalefiord
