The Rondane Mountain Area as circumscribed in the large map Iies between 61° 47.1' to 62° 6.2' N.L., and 9° 25.1' to 10 17.8' E. Gr. (lower margin of map; up per margin 9° 24.8' to 10° 18.1 ') , covering about 2030 km². Of this area I have obtained a somewhat detailed acquaintance with 1600 km² during the four summers of 1941 to 1944, and the actual meshes of my routes are rather close within this lesser area. Even if there are stones unturned, I know most of them!
The present paper mainly deals with the Rondane high mountains proper, covering some 400 km², which are on the locational map (A) . The map used during the field survey was the original in 1: 50 000, up on which the 1 : 100 000 map reproduced is based.
In the following, localities are frequently referred to the 1:100 000 map by their distances in mm from the left and upper margins of the map, given in italics. E. g. the coordinates 212.147 indicate a point 212 mm from the left, 14 7 mm from the upper margin of the map.
References to figures are only by their numbers (photos on plates) , or letter ( text figures) . Details in figures are referred to by the same mm coordinate system as on the map, only not in italics. The figures themselves have got such full explanations; that they alone might well be regarded as a geomorphological account of the area.
This is the second paper of the Rondane Survey series. In the first one (Strøm 1944) a brief outline of the development and scope of the researches was given. A popular description of the geology and morphology of the area has been published in Norwegian (Strøm 1943 ) .
