into two Fogderies, Lister and Mandal. Its principal 
towns are Christiansand and Mandal. 
_ Five valleys intersect Mandals Fogderie—Topdal, 
Torrisdal, Sogndal, Mandal, and Undal—all running 
nearly parallel with each other, and separated the one 
from the other by mountain ranges of no great altitude. 
Mandals Fogderie contains many and very im- 
portant salmon fisheries. And first, the Toppats Exy, 
a continuation of OrrerEN Exy—the river which runs 
through Szetersdal—is a fine salmon stream. Salmon 
go up in it to Boen Foss. A part of this river is 
owned by an Englishman who has a property on it; 
but whether all the fishing is taken up, or not, I cannot 
say with certainty. It abounds with fish, but they are 
generally of small size, and of poor quality. 
The names of the several properties which have the 
right of fishing on this river are Gustnes on the 
western shore of Topdal Fjord, Tved, Boen, Kjevik, and 
Drangholt. More accurate information can, however, 
be obtained in Christiansand. It is an early river, and 
can for the most part be fished from land. Bright- 
coloured flies are recommended. 
The Torrispat Env, a little to the west, is a large 
river. Salmon go up to Vikelands Foss, beyond which 
they cannot pass. Quarters and fishing may be had 
at Vigelund, which is an exceedingly good station. 
The fishery belongs to Consul Vildt, a Swiss gentleman,
