THE BRYOPHYTA OF ICELAND 399 



in several places. The majority of these collections are determined 

 by C.Jensen and included in Gronlund's list (1895). 



My own investigations were made on three journeys, viz. in 

 1909 and 1912 by the aid of the Carlsberg Fund, and in 1914 by 

 the aid of the Botanical Travelling Fund, and Japetus Steen- 

 strup's Legacy. In 1909 I investigated in the beginning of June 

 the region around Reykjavik and Hafnarfjordur, and made a live 

 day's trip to the Esja mountains. On June 9th I sailed to Horna- 

 fjordur in South-east Iceland, and after staying a few days there 

 went straight through East Iceland to Seydisfjordur, where I arrived 

 on June 30th. On the way I stopped at several farms, viz. Stafa- 

 fell, Hof, Djupivogur, Berufjordur, Hoskulstadr and Vallanes. On 

 July 9lh I took the coast steamer to Husavik in North Iceland, 

 and after some days sojourn there went into the interior of the is- 

 land across As and Svinadal to Reykjahlid near Myvatn, and after 

 having stayed a few 7 days there to Akureyri. Unfortunately investigation 

 in this interesting region was almost entirely prevented by continual 

 rain and fog. I stayed five days in Akureyri and then continued 

 my journey westwards through North Iceland to Stadur near 

 Hrutafjordur, stopping at the farms Tvera in 0xnadalur, Vidiimri, 

 Vidivellir, Geitaskard, Hnausar and Lsekjarmot. From Stadur I 

 rode across Haukadalsheidi and Brattabrekki to the farm Dals- 

 mvnni in Nordredalur, w r here I arrived on August 2nd. After stav- 



v O . 



ing a few days there in continual rain, I was obliged to abandon 

 my original plan of travelling by land to Reykjavik and, instead, 

 to ride to Borgarnes and take the steamer to Reykjavik. 



In 1912 I arrived at Reykjavik on June 2nd and rode thence 

 past Kolvidarhol to Reykir, where the vegetation around the hot 

 springs was investigated, and thence to Skalholt, Laugardalur and 

 Thingvellir, staying a few days at each place, and then back again 

 to Reykjavik, whence I sailed on June 15th to Dvrafjordur in 

 North-west Iceland. On the way I had an opportunity during a 

 24 hours stay in Stykkisholmur to investigate the immediate neigh- 

 bourhood. After a three days stay at Dvrafjordur I rode on June 

 20th to Isafjordur, whence, during the following three weeks, I 

 made numerous excursions, partly, on foot, to the surrounding 

 country and to Sugandafjordur, and partly to the north-west side 

 of the fjord and the district around Jokulsfjordur, to Hesteyri and 

 the whole tract of land from the head of Jokulsfjordur to Stadur, 

 and from Baeir to Arngerdareyri.
