some of which exceeded 2 feet in diameter. My friend Mr. 

 E. Magniisson informs me that it has now renewed itself to

 forest. 



Gliemann informs us that to the east of Eeykjalid, at the 

 foot of DaleQord, and by Ferjubakki, near the mouth of the river 

 Jokulsa of Axarfjord, there were high and thick Birch trees 

 remaining. 



Sir Gt. S. Mackenzie passed in 1810 through a wood of Birch 

 trees, 6-10 feet high, by the Hvita of BogarQord. Hooker, in 

 1811, passed through a similar " forest " of these trees, some 



r 



11-12 feet high, near the south side of the entrance of Bogar- 

 Qord. And Henderson, 1814j-15, saw "numerous forests of 

 birch," by the Lagarfljot.
