92 SPORT IN NOEWAY. 



But, from the causes I have referred to above, they 

 seldom remain on any one spot for a long time ; indeed, 

 they are constantly on the move, so that it by no means 

 follows that they will be found in the same parts two 

 consecutive years. The Dovre Fjeld, with its branches 

 to the east, west, and south, is one of their favourite 

 haunts. The Jotun Fjeld is probably the central 

 point of that family, the divisions of which roam 

 through the north-western parts of Gudbrandsdal, 

 Valders, Nordfjord, Sondfjord, and Sogn. The im- 

 mense plateau lying south of the road from Hallingdal 

 to the Sogne Fjord, and containing numerous snow- 

 capped mountains, the western declivities of which are 

 covered with Hardanger glaciers or Folgefond, is not so 

 sharply separated from the Jotun Fjeld, as to prevent 

 the tribes which properly belong to each range at times 

 intermingling with each other. On the extensive 

 ranges between Hallingdal, Nummedal, and Thele- 

 marken in the east, and Voss, Hardanger, and Eyfylke in 

 the west, large quantities of reindeer are to be met with. 



From the interior arms of the Hardanger Fjord the 

 sportsman will perhaps reach the best terrain for 

 hunting more readily than by any other route; but 

 the want of anything like decent accommodation must 

 prove a serious drawback to the amateur, unless he 

 comes provided with a tent and canteen all complete.
