332 APPENDIX. 
ALTEN Exv.—(?. 14.) 
I have since been informed that the nets and boxes are entirely 
removed from this river, a very high rent being paid for it. The 
season of 1862 was a wonderful one; one rod taking 4,700 lbs, in 
six weeks! 
Lopreno.—(P. 17.) 
The shooting on Loppend and Hadselé is taken, the former 
yearly from Consul Aagaard, and the latter on lease from the five 
parishes of the island. 
RaNEN Etv.—(e. 20.) 
The largest river in the Ranen Fjord is the Rytsaa, near the 
end of the Fjord. It is a very fine stream; but the only fishing 
is near Korgen, about half an English mile below the Foss. The 
Foss is magnificent, and worth a journey. 
“The shooting about here,” a friend informs me, ‘‘ was some 
years ago very fine. I have not heard of its having been tried 
since. There is very good ryper-shooting on the land adjoining 
Vigholmen, a small station at the mouth of the Fjord; and late 
in the season (October) thousands of ptarmigan on the rocky 
mountains opposite.” 
Storpats ELv._(P. 23.) 
There is now a new road up Stordal, so that the ferry is 
avoided, The river, from the Foss to Kringen, is on lease; but 
whether the part from this place to the mouth is taken, I cannot 
say with certainty. 
Namsen Etv.—(r. 28.) 
The season of 1863 has been a very late one on this river, and 
even in the best parts there was no sport at all till nearly the 
middle of July, and then very partial, one or two of the best 
stations doing very little, one or two well enough. The lower 
fishings are, I am informed, worth next to nothing; and that 
there is nothing below Sem worth the journey, or any rent at 
all. Below this place the river loses its grand character. There 
are some fine-looking pools and streams below that point, no 
doubt ; but hereabouts the river begins to run among immense
