THE AXXALS AND MAGAZINE OF NATURAL HISTORY. [SIXTH SERIES.] No. 71. NOVEMBER 1893. LIII. — A Month on the Trondhjem Fiord. By tlie Rev. Canon NoRMAN, M.A., D.C.L., F.R.S., &c.

In 1878 I went first toOster Fiord, whicli is a little north of Bergen, and along the lovely sides ot which the admirably engineered railway from Bergen to Voss now passes through endless cuttings and tunnels ; then I took up ray quarters on Bukken, an islet in the Bergen Fiord, and subsequently had a week's work at Drobak, on the Christiania Fiord. In 1879 I went to the Hardanger Fiord, staying at Lervig, on the island of Stordo. In 1882 I determined to visit Floro, a district made classic by tlie admirable work done there fifty years ago by Professor M. Sars, at that time lilinister of Florrj. While there I received an urgent request from Prof. E. Ray Lankester to come to Lervig and help him to find Rhahdopltura, which I had taken there in 1879. I therefore left Florii and joined him at Lervig. In 1890 I spent two months in East Finmark or Lapland, dredging first from Vadsb, on the Varanger Fiord, and subsequently working the Sydvaranger Fiords from Kirchenes, which is close on the Russian frontier. It had been my purpose this past summer to have gone southwards, but my doctor ordered me north. This being the case, I selected the Trondhjem Fiord as the place for my researches. I was led to this Ann. (k Mag. N. Hist. Ser. G. Vol. xii. 26
