REVIEWS. 
made with reference to the glaciers of Norway, which may be recom¬ 
mended to future travellers :— 
“1. To ascertain whether unquestionable and well-defined snow fields 
occur south of lat. 60°; the level of the snow line, and the period of the 
year at which it retreats highest. 
“ 2. To examine the glaciers on the west slope of the Justedal mountains, 
and at the head of the Sogudal and Veitestrandswand, and to trace to 
their origin the remarkable granite boulders which seem to be derived from 
thence. 
11 3. To select amongst the glaciers of the Justedal range one or more 
suitable for careful observations of progression, both during the height of 
summer, and from year to year. The Lodal’s glacier is probably one of 
the best. 
“ 4. To ascertain carefully the snow line of the Folgefond, and in Nord- 
fiord (between Justedal and the sea). 
“5. To visit and describe the glaciers of the Jenesfield, &c. 
“ 6. To explore the country to the west and north-west of Sneehattan, on 
the Doore-field ; to observe its geology, and ascertain the level and extent 
of its snow fields. 
“ 7. Generally, in the preceding excursions, to notice the occurrence of 
grooved and polished rocks, and the direction, by compass, of the striae, 
especially on level places, not in the direction of valleys. The attempt to 
trace generally the boulders to their origin could only be attempted by 
persons familiarly conversant with the intricate and obscure geology of 
Norway. But moraines should be watched for, and sketched. That of 
Vasbotten, near Stavanger, mentioned by Esmarh, w r ould be worthy of a 
visit. 
“ 8. In Nordland, and the higher north, the traveller may explore the 
Borgefield between the Namsen and Vefsen rivers, frequented for their 
fishing by numerous tourists. 
“9. The glaciers and snow fields of Foudal (lat. 66°, 67°), would, 
unquestionably, repay a week or a fortnight’s research. From the steam¬ 
boat station of Rodb the Mels-fiord, Flolands-fiord, and Gloms-fiord 
might be easily visited, of which the two first, at least, contain glaciers at 
a very low level. The mountains of Foudal are, in a great measure, 
detached from the interior chain, and it is probable that the explorer might 
return from Gilleskaal, beyond Cape Kunnen, by the landward side, to the 
head of the Ranen-ford (lat. 66° 10'), and rejoin the steamer. 
u 10. The promontory of Syngen, with its numerous glaciers, might be 
made an object of an excursion from Tromso, with the aid of the steamer.
