The upper basalt series. After a further period of quiescence of unknown duration, during which erosion and weathering of the lava surface took place, the last period of eruption commenced. The surface, on which the first lava flows were poured, was uneven and sloping. Local erosion has left more resistant parts which, in their time, protruded over the surface and were overflowed by a new lava stream. The volcanic activity which was continuous during the formation of the middle basalt series, now had a rhythmic character again.
Talus Talus consists of the collection of stone and soil at the bottom of steep slopes, in which the many holes and small caverns provide protection for birds. The plants here are partly the same as in the higher niches; Festuca rubra (fraterculis) and Archangelica officinalis being very important species. Other common plants growing in these areas are Agrostis tenuis, Rumex ace to sa, Stellaria media, Cerastium, Sagina procumbens and Urtica dioica, some of which may be found around house sites; the latter likely being a function of higher soil nitrate and phosphate content.
In addition, appreciable amounts of Himanthalia elongata, Laminaria digitata, Laminaria hyperborea, and Alaria esculenta may be found. Ascophyllum nodosum is quite commonly distributed. The red algae also have a wide distribution, the most common being Lithothamnion polymorphum, Gigartina stellata, Corallina officinalis, and Chondrus crispus. Some of the red algae are particularly attractive, especially those which grow in deep waters. Author's addresses: Mr K. Hansen F0roya Natturugripasavn Torshavn, The Faeroe Islands Mr J.
