BOREAS Foged, N. 1978 03 01: Diatoms from the Middle and Late Weichselian and the Early Flandrian period on Andøya, north Norway. Boreas, Vol. 7, pp. 41–47. Oslo. ISSN 0300–9483. From cores from a depth of 9.9 m up to 5.1 m below the present surface of a mire situated approx. 36 m above sea level on Andøya, north Norway, 47 samples were analysed for diatoms. Some 240 taxa were recorded, chiefly in Late Weichselian and Early Flandrian material. They were subdivided according to their halobion and pH relation. On the whole, the pH reaction of the environment was neutral, but it changed from faintly acid to faintly alkaline during the sedimentation of the Late Weichselian material.
