18 OLAF HOLTEDAHL. [SEC. ARCT. EXP. FRAM diaha>es found in the mesozoic strata of Eureka Sound (see BUGGE 1. c., ji. :;:5i. Here are found two types, one containing quart/, and micropeg- matile, the other not. Probably also the relatively coarsely crystalline diaha.-es fnund in the basal part of the paleozoic deposits at Cape Cam- perdowii iii P>ache Peninsula, Reindeer Point in Foulke Fjord and at I ram Fjord in Jones Sound, are of the same age. SCHEI distinctly emplia-i/es the fact that the intrusions have especially appeared along two lines, Smith and Eureka Sounds. While the thickness of the diabase Cumbrian Sandstones. Pre-Cambrian igneous rocks. Fig 1. Fiiullrd district on the north side of Foulkefjord in Greenland. Sketch taken from SCHEI'S diary. at Cape Camperdown is 100 m., it decreases farther to the west, and at the inner end of Flagler Fjord the diabases are not at all developed. At L-iiiiU l,okk at the extreme west of Grant Land were found lavas, (see Bi'GiiK. p. .']."> | and these lava beds were crossed by veins of diorite- porphyrite, a variety of rock that was also found farther to the soulh- i^t in Nansen Sound, as well as l<> the south-west in Ringnes Island. Contemporaneous with the great igneous activity in the Post-Triassic lnil I Yr Miocene time, occurred the majority of crust movements that have taken plan- in Klle.Miiereland since Pre-Camhrian time. Of these Si HI i in Ins preliminary report (p. G) has given a short sketch which follows below :
