332 APPENDIX. 



ALTEK ELY. (p. 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 Ibs. in 

 six weeks ! 



LOPPENO. (P. 17.) 



The shooting on Loppeno and Hadselo is taken, the former 

 yearly from Consul Aagaard, and the latter on lease from the five 

 parishes of the island. 



RANEN ELY. (p. 20.) 



The largest river in the Ranen Fjord is the Eytsaa, 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." 



STOBDALS 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 ELV. (p. 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 Saem 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
