Since the Government Geological Survey of the country around Nottingham was made in the year 1859, and the Explanation on the Geological Map Quarter-sheet 71 N.E. was written in 1861, papers by local geologists have been written, stating that in the neighbourhood of Nottingham a perfect conformity existed between the Magnesian Limestone and the New Red Sandstone. This being totally at variance with conclusions I came to when I surveyed that country, I have been for some time past desirous to say a word on the subject, but being deeply occupied with the old rocks of the Lake district, I have put it off from time to time. I felt little doubt in my mind, when surveying the neighbourhood of Nottingham, that there was a considerable break between the Magnesian Limestone and the New Red Sandstone, and this opinion was completely confirmed as I continued my survey northwards through Nottinghamshire into Yorkshire.

The first general overview of the geology of Greenland to be presented in the form of a map was the 'Tectonic/geological map of Greenland' published by the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) in 1970 at a scale of I:2 500 000. This wall map proved very popular, and stocks were exhausted in 1990. A new Geological map of Greenland at the same scale (Escher & Pulvcrtaft 1995) has now been prepared: this presents a wealth of new information, including a representation of the geology of offshore areas.

The publication of the 1:500 000 Skjoldungen map sheet (Escher, 1990; Fig. 1) marks the completion of the Geological Survey of Greenland's (GGU's) reconnaissance mapping activities in South-East Greenland. A descriptive text to the map is under preparation. All of South-East Greenland between Kap Farvel (59° 00´N) and Mesters Vig (72° 00´N) is now covered by sheets of the 1:500 000 geological map series of Greenland. Five sheets in the series (nos 5,6,9, 10 and 11) remain to be published (Fig. 1); the Thule map sheet (sheet 5) will be printed in the course of 1991, and sheet 10 is under compilation. The presentation of the Skjoldungen map is somewhat different from that of the other 1:500 000 maps inthe series. In addition to traditional lithological information, an effort has been made to show the tectonic/metamorphic development of the region during the Archaean and Proterozoic.
