THE WILD REINDEER OF NORWAY. 93 



Ovre Thelemarken, between Langfjeld and Nubseggen, 

 there are fine tracts for reindeer. Indeed, the in- 

 habitants of these districts are "mighty hunters," and 

 subsist principally on venison. Also from Lerdal, 

 Lyster, Jostedal branches of the Sogne Fjord good 

 opportunities for sport may be had ; but here, too, the 

 accommodation is extremely deficient. Maristuen, above 

 Lerdal, one station short of Nystuen, the highest part 

 of the Fille Fjeld, will, however, afford good accommo- 

 dation, and is an excellent place to put up at for those 

 who purpose hunting in the Sulitind Fjeld; and 

 Fortun, the highest point in Lyster, is a good station 

 for those who wish to hunt on the Hurrung Fjeld. 

 Nystuen (not to be confounded with the one above), at 

 the head of Valders, will also be found to afford decent 

 accommodation. 



Laurdal, in Gudbrandsdal, is a favourite resort for 

 Englishmen (excellent general shooting is to be had in 

 the vicinity) ; but it has been so much shot over during 

 the last two or three years that it may be questionable 

 whether good sport is to be relied on there. 



The fjeld round Vaage parish will afford good sport, and 

 especially Lomseggen, at the western extremity of the 

 lake. 



The plateau between Kendalen and Trysil, on the 

 borders of Sweden, is occasionally good for reindeer. 

 The accommodation in the saeters of this district is
