WILD NOEWAY. 
REINDEER—A BIG BUCK. 
0 Sketched August 29 , 1895 .) 
Many different types of fj eld will be described in 
the succeeding chapters. It is upon those of more 
moderate elevations—say, under two thousand feet— 
that one finds the greatest variety of animal-life, and 
upon such, among the sseters, I have spent much time. 
But I have also enjoyed (if that is the right word) 
to the valley, when the first snows permit. But during 
some ten months out of the twelve the fjeld is deserted 
by man; while there are yet higher regions, and others 
whose extent precludes even this intermittent form of 
agriculture, and which are abandoned to the sole posses¬ 
sion of an alpine fauna.
