slopes facing the sound between Osteroe and Stromoe 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 S.S.E. to KN.W.” 
As any facts bearing on the smoothed and striated rocks at Eide 
and the Kodlen peninsula deserve attention, the following addi- 
tional paragraphs in Professor Geikie’s Memoir are quoted : — 
On page 254 he states that the soundiugs on the chart prove, 
that the long fiord which separates Stromoe from Osteroe occupies 
the bed of two submerged valleys, with a low separating col, over 
which there is shallow water, This col occurs in the narrow part of 
the sound between Kordskaale and Ore ; and the soundings show 
that from this point the water deepens, both towards N. W. and S.E. 
The fiord is shallower at its mouth near Eide, where there are 
and 9 fathoms of water, than it is at and above Haldervig, where 
we get depths of 18 to 30 fathoms.” 
On page 261 Professor Geikie states that “the long sound that 
separates Osteroe from Stromoe brimmed with ice, which flowed in 
two directions. J^orth of Nordskaale the movement was northerly ; 
while south of the shallow part of that sound the ice held on a 
southerly course.” 
A point, apparently of some importance, is brought out in Dr 
Geikie’s Memoir, viz., that m_any of the hills show smoothing of 
rocks, only up to a certain height. 
Thus it is stated that “ the lower part of the mountains that over- 
look Kolfaredel are smoothed and abraded in a S.E, direction, and 
we estimated the height reached by the glacial outline to be some 
1500 or 1600 feet, Above that level all is rough and rugged, and 
destitute of the slightest trace of glacial abrasion ” (p. 245). 
Then, on an adjoining mountain, where there is a pass at 1243 feet 
above the sea, there are “ roches moutonneesf but we saw no stri^. 
The glaciated outline was continued up the mountain slopes above 
us, for not less than 400 feet” (p. 245). 
In another locality, “ the col, we found to be 1693 feet above the 
sea, and the glaciation came close up to this level. But abraded 
rocks with the characteristic glaciated contour certainly reached 
1600 feet” (p. 246),
