plant fossils of middledevonian age. The breccias, conglo- 
merates and sandstones have not been folded, but the rocks 
have been intersected by faults running about north-south. 
The dip of the stratas is in southeastern direction and gene- 
rally about 60°. Some parts of the conglomerate, especially near 
the bottom, show no trace of stratification. The thickness of 
the devonian series, which it is difficulty to determine is here 
about 2500—3000 m. 
Traps and green-schists. 
The northern part of Melvær and Vere as also, at any 
rate, the southern part of Alden, all consist of traps and green- ~ 
schists which are strongly pressed and traversed by a network 
of light veins. (Fig. 2). The Svartskerries situated in the 
south-eastern part of the area also consist af traps. 
Trapbreccia. 
On the border between the trap-zone and the conglomerates 
lying to the south of the latter we find a relatively small zone 
of a peculiar breccia which in several places appears in alter- 
nate layers with conglomerate, such as may be seen in fig. 5 
which presents a section from Hølsteinen, the latter being one 
of the Bustones (Busteinene), and in fig. 6 and 7 which pre- 
sent two sections from Vere on both sides of a fault running 
north north-west and south south-east; the eastern portion seems 
to be displaced 5 a 6 m. in a southern direction. 
I have studied the breccia (fig. 8) on the eastern side of 
Vergo. The cement is a greyish green sandstone, in which 
sharp-edged fragments are located, the latter chiefly consisting 
of trap. 
Conglomerates and Sandstones 
take up the chief portion of the area shown in the map. The 
conglomerate appears by itself in the northern part of the 
area, in the southern we find it in alternate stratification with 
sandstones.
