Da Havbundens Skraaninger tildels overskride 4°, som 
udenfor Vesteraalen, kan Dybden paa saadanne Steder være 
ansat over 100 Fayne fejlagtigt. Dette fremlyser ogsaa 
gjennem den grafiske Fremstilling, idet Ligedybde-Linierne 
ligge meget tæt paa saadanne Partier. Det Billede, som 
disse give af Havbunden, bliver kun lidet fortrukket.

benyttet følgende Kilder.

The slopes of the sea-bed exceeding in some localities 
40 — off Vesteraalen, for instance — the depth may, 
perhaps, there have been given up to 100 fathoms erroneously. 
This is likewise evident from the diagrammatic representa- 
tion, the lines of equal depth lying very close together in 
such places. The image given by those lines of the sea- 
bottom, exhibits but a very slight dislocation. 
For constructing the Contour-Map (PI. I), I made use 
of the following Works of Reference: — 
Soundings from the Norwegian North-Atlantic Expe- 
dition, 1876—78 
Soundings taken on board the Coast-Survey SS “Han- 
steen,” during her annual cruises (1867—85), from the 
mouth of the Christianiafjord to the Vestfjord, and off Vardø, 
as also in the Varangerfjord.? 
The Norwegian Coast-Charts, in particular those of 
the Finmark coast. Older soundings.* 
The Norwegian, Danish, and British North-Sea Charts.

1872.4

the “Porcupine” (1869), the “Knight Errant” (1880), and 
the “Triton” (1882).
