Splachnum angustatum, Mnium turgidum, Meesia 

 demissa, &c., and several others too numerous to 

 mention. 



' Around Drivstuen, especially on the Fjeld slopes on 

 the east side, the vegetation is very luxuriant. Most 

 of the subalpine plants may be found here in abund- 

 ance Ranunculus platanifolius, Thalictrum simplex, 

 Viola mirdbilis, Epilobium origanifolium, Saxifraga 

 cotyledon (more common between Drivstuen and 

 Rise), Erigeron acer fi,Gnaphalium sylvaticum /3, 

 Sonchus alpinus, and many interesting forms of Hiera- 

 cium cymosum, murorum, loreale, aurantiacum, and 

 prenantJioides, and forms of H. umhellatum, Apargia 

 Taraxaci, Polemonium cseruleum, Myosotis sylvatica 

 and deflexa, Satyrium nigrum, Convallaria verticillata, 

 Calamagrostis Hatteriana, Equisetum hyemale^. &c. 

 By clamberuig higher up on the same side, above the 

 birch-limit, the same rich alpine vegetation is met with 

 as occurs at Kongsvold. The same cryptogamous plants 

 are found here, and hi addition, Lecidia decipiens, high 

 above the birch-limit, and Parmelia oreina on the 

 rocky slopes and stones near Drivstuen. On the other 

 side of the river, opposite to Drivstuen. the vegetation 

 in the lower parts of the Fjeld is less luxuriant and

 one for the trouble, unless to find the Diapensia in
