86 Carl Fred. Kolderup. 



The German geologist Carl Friederich Naumann who, a hund- 

 red years ago, made geological excursions in Western Norway has 

 been in this district at Fossedal and east of Kvamshesten (Bey- 

 tråge zur Kenntnisz Norwegens). 



In the following Norwegian papers we also find some in- 

 formation about the area: 



M. Irgens and Th. Hiortdahl: „Om de geologiske Forhold 

 paa Kyststrækningen av Nordre Bergenhus Amt." (Kristiania 1864). 



H. Reusch: «Konglomerat og Sandstensfelterne i Nordfjord, 

 Søndfjord og Sogn." (Nyt Mag. f. Natv. B. XXVI. 1881). 



A. Helland: „Studier over Konglomerater". (Archiv f. Mat. 

 og Natv. 6. B. 1881). 



This paper is the second of the papers which I intend to 

 publish on the 5 Devonian areas of Western Norway. The first 

 dealt with the small area of Bulandet almost out in the ocean 1 ). 

 In my investigations of the area of Kvamshesten I have most 

 ably been assisted by my skilful assistant Jens Omvik who un- 

 fortunately died before the survey was finished. 



As a result of my investigations we have in the area 4 litho- 

 logical groups: 1. The basement conglomerates and breccias 

 which have their largest extention along the southern and western 

 border. 2. The series of red and green sandstones. 3. The series 

 of green sandstones. 4. The series of red conglomerates and 

 red sandstones of Lillehesten. 



Basement conglomerates and breccias. 



(Page 15-32). 



The lower part of this area consists of conglomerates and 

 breccias whose pebbles are mostly slightly rounded or angular. 



Fig. 7 shows the steep mountainside of Hængenipen which 

 consists of basal conglomerate. Fig. 6, 9, 12 and 13 are pictures 

 of rock specimens; the two last figures are from the same specimen 

 in order to show the structure in two directions at a right angle 

 to another. Fig. 10 and 11 are microphotos. 



I have found as pebbles : syenite, plagioclasite, microperthite 

 rock, foliated granite, granodiorite (trondhjemite), jotunnorite, labra-
