Xli PREFACE. 
take up gun or rifle when an opportunity occurs, 
or collect specimens of wild flowers and ferns when — 
they can find them, I have added for their especial 
benefit, under the title of ‘Botanical Rambles on the 
Dovre Fjeld,’ (with the permission of the late talented 
Professor of Botany, Herr Blytt,) a list of the Alpine 
Flora that may be found growing there, together with 
some tours which will be the most likely to repay the 
trouble of the collector ; and have also given a short 
account of the ferns of Norway, which latter I am glad 
to see Mr. Bennett is bringing before the notice of the 
English public in a very practical way. 
In conclusion, I would only add that I can insure 
the authenticity of all that is herein stated, and that it 
has been my great object to avoid drawing too bright a 
picture of the resources the Fjelds, Forests, and Rivers of 
the country are capable of affording.* 
* The Author will be much obliged for any corrections or altera- 
tions which personal experience may suggest.
