Abstract

This paper gives details of part of the Hecla Hoek Succession already outlined (Harland and Wilson, 1956). Field work in 1956 and 1957 in general confirmed the succession, and this account includes the results of the later work. A large-scale repetition of a sedimentary cycle is demonstrated, and the relationship with equivalent rocks in Nordaustlandet is discussed.
