Thrudmar Sigurdsson, Midfell farm, gave permission
to establish a camp on his land.
G.P.L. Walker, London, inlroduced one of us
(G.S.) to the Geitafell area andgave valuable advice
about the geology. Th. Sigurgeirsson, University of
Iceland, furthered the project with fruitful dis-
cussions.
Magnetization determinations and AF demagneti-
zation have been performed at the Paleomagnetic
Laboratory of the Geophysics Institute in Copenhagen.
We would like to thank S. Lauge Petersen, who took
part in the survey for assistance in laboratory
measurements and drawings. T.C.R. Pulvertaft read
the manuscript and improved the language.
A grantfrom the Danish Natural Science Research
Council covered the costs of the survey (grant
J.Nr.5ll — 6633) and the Icelandic Research
Council gave permission for the field work in Iceland.
