Abstract
IN the summer of 1956 the Quaternary history of a number of trough-shaped basins was investigated in the area between Lindesnes and Kristiansand. In one such basin, at Dostad in the innermost part of Hartmarkfjord (lat. 58° 02′N., long. 7° 38′ E.), a mire was found at a depth of about 1.5 m., lying between layers of marine sediments (Fig. 1). The basin is very well sheltered from the sea by, among other things, a rock threshold which is about 2 m. above present sea-level. The mire is 1.5–1.7 m. thick.
