The region between J. P. Koch Fjord (40°W) and north-eastem Washington Land (65°W) was the site of geological mapping and general geological investigations during the first of a two season systematic fjeld mapping programme. An expedition of 37 members, comprising 12 geological two-man parties and 13 supporting personnel including aircraft crews, worked in the region for two months during the summer. The preliminary resuIts of the geological work are presented in 12 contributions from the individual geologists in this report (GGU report no. 126).
