eastern part. A unit of thin tholeiite flows in the
uppermost part of the series presumably represents
the flank succession of the Stardalur volcano. This
series corresponds to Units 22 and 24 in Esja
(Friðleifsson 1973).
d) The Lágafell hyaloclastite which occurs within
the Korpúlfsstaðir series, is reversely magnetized. It
is about 40-50 m thick in Lágafell and along the
Varmá river but truncates towards west and north. It
is found to be 15-20 m thick in a borehole east of
Borgarholt (Tulinius et al. 1986). It is probably the
same as Unit 23 in Esja.
e) The Ulfarsfell basalt series is normally magne-
tized and about 120 m thick. It is composed of
