As a parallel to the oscillation of the Glacier of Nigard we 

 may here also pay attention to the oscillation of the Glacier of 

 Berset. Making use of the same arrangement, we then obtain 

 the following table :

We have before us a long series of statements of the de- 

 crease of glacier branches emanating from the snow-field of the 

 Jostedalsbræ, from 1870 down to the present year. We can here 

 only mention a couple of instances. Thus, Slingsby, in his 

 „Chips from the ice-axe in Norway, 1881", says concerning the
