neighbourhood of Lysne Gaard is very good. The 
latter part of June will be found to be the best time 
for this river, and the fishing is best near the mouth. 
Lerdalséren is an excellent station, and the station- 
master is very civil and obliging. 
Aarpats Ey, running into a fjord of the same 
name, a little to the north of Lerdalsoren, is often 
capable of affording excellent sport; but the quantity 
of water in this river is very irregular. It is best 
after a good deal of rain has fallen. Fish have been 
taken, I am informed, up to forty pounds in weight. 
When the water is very low, salmon run up into a lake 
which is about five miles in length, and from thence 
find their way up a river running in at the other end for , 
about three miles anda half. In the autumn the salmon- 
trout-fishing to be had in this river is exceedingly fine. 
I believe the fishing here to be engaged, but am not 
certain. I do not think it was in 1860. I do not 
know whether fishing can be had in the Jéstedal river 
near Lyster in the Gaupne Fjord; but it is a likely- 
looking stream, though, of necessity, a late one, owing 
to its running down from the glaciers. It is about 
thirty miles north of Lerdalséren, whence it can be 
reached by boat-skyts. (For an account of the glaciers 
vide Murray’s ‘ Handbook,’ p. 165.) 
In Sogndals Fjord, to the west of this, is the Aaro 
Exy, which, though not of great extent, yet has a large
