Flora " that L. cmtumnalis and L. his2ndiis are natives 

 of Norway, and it was probably one of these. 



There are three species of Botrychium in the " Norsk 

 Flora' — B. lunarUi, B. riUaceum, and B. tcrnatum. We may 

 have got them all here. 



After a most enjoyable stay of ten days at Kongsvold, 

 we continued our drive over the Dovrefjeld, on Monday, 

 7th August, passing the old " stations " of Jerkin (the 

 highest point on the route), and Folkstuen, where we 

 joined a large company at an excellent dinner. This place 

 seems to be a favourite. It is in a very airy situation, on 

 a moorland 3120 feet above the sea, commanding a fine 

 view of the Sntehatta range, and said to have good shoot- 

 ing in the neighbourhood. The game in this district 

 includes willow grouse, ptarmigan, and capercailzie. 



Passing out of alpine regions at Domaas, where a cross- 

 road leads to the Eomsdal Fjord and Molde, we spent the 

 night at Toftemoen, in the valley of the Laagen, near which 

 is the parish church of Dovre. A Campanula with very 

 small flowers was observed here, probably the variety of 

 rotundifolia called jjarviflora gathered by the Scottish 

 Alpine Botanical Club on their visit to Norway in 1887. 



Next morning we had a picturesque though dusty drive 

 down the valley to the railway terminus at Otta, enjoying 

 on the way a feast of Multibwr (Eiihus Chammmorus) , 

 which was now ripe. Served with sugar and cream, 

 at the end of table d'hote, this makes an excellent dish. 

 From Otta the train brought us through the fertile 

 Gudbrandsdal, to Lillehammer, a town at the upper 

 end of Lake Mjosen. Large quantities of Tamarix were 

 observed during these last two days, but we were not 

 free to obtain specimens. We were told that it was 

 T. Gennanica. Lake Mjosen, famous for its salmon- 

 trout, is the largest lake in Norway (sixty-two miles 

 long), having a good many towns and villages on its 

 shores, the largest of which is Hamar, with over five 

 thousand inhabitants. Next day we sailed the whole 

 length of the lake, to Eidsvold, at its southern extremity, 

 reaching Christiania in the evening by train. 



Having brought our tour to a close in Christiania. and 

 having a whole day to spend there, it seemed fitting to
