H. Molm. Nogle Bidrag til (le nordlige Landes Geografi og Naturhistorie, sammenstillede efter Iagttagelser, gjorte paa den norske Nordhavs-Expedition 1876—78. Med (i farvetrykte Billeder og 9 Trsesnit samt 2 Karter. Yed Nordhavs-Expeditionens Opliold i Havn eller under Kysten af de af det nordlige Atlanterliav og Is- liavet beskyllede Lande og 0er, sogte man, saavidt Lejlig- lieden tillod det, at anstille forskjellige Slags Iagttagelser paa Land. Disse Iagttagelser og deres Resultater liar jeg, forsaavidt de antages at indeliolde nye Oplysninger af In- teresse, sammenstillet i de fplgende Blade. De medfplgende Billeder, der samtlige ere udfprte efter Originaltegninger, tagne paa Stedet, ville i mange Henseender give en langt fuldstmndigere Fofestilling om Gjenstandene end den vidt- lpftigste Beskrivelse. I. Vestmanna-0erne. Fra Reden udenfor Havnen, kvor “Yoringen” laa fra den 22de til den 26de Juli 1876, ser man mod Nord Heima-0ens hojeste Fjeld, Heimaklettur, og mod Nordost Forbjerget Ystiklettur. Det er dette sidste, vi se paa Bil- ledet, til hvilket Maleren, Hr. Scbiertz, bar benyttet sin fortrinligej paa Stedet tagne Farve-Skitse. De vulkanske Bergarters Forvitringsformer i dette fugtige Klima illustre- res udmerket vel paa dette Billede. Ystikletturs stejle Ysegge med sine smale Afsatser gjpr det til et Fugleberg, bvor den hvide fra Fuglene hidrprende Farve smukt vexler med den naturlige brune, og oventil ser man paa mindre og storre Partier den for Xordvest-Europas 01ande ejen- dommelige saftige gronne Farve af Grsesset. Yed Ivlettens Den norske Nordhavsexpedition. H. Molm: Geografi. H. Molm. Contributions to the Geography and Natural History of the Northern Legions of Europe, derived froxp observations made on the Norwegian North-Atlantic Expedition (1878—1878). AVitb 6 Chromo-lithographs, 9 AArood Engravings, and 2 Maps. The time passed by the Norwegian Expedition on the coast of such continental tracts and islands as border upon the North-Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean, was devoted, circumstances permitting, to the prosecu- tion of exploratory work on shore. Those of the ob- servations, and their results, that are fraught, it is pre- sumed, vTith new and interesting data, have been set forth in the following pages. The accompanying illustrations, all of which are from sketches taken on the spot, will convey, in many respects, a much livelier impression of the natural objects they represent than any mere verbal description, however graphic and precise. I. The Vestmanna Islands. From the roadstead, without the harbour, where the “Yoringen” lay at anchor from the 22nd to the 26tli of July 1876, is seen, looking north, Heima Island’s loftiest summit, Heimaklettur, and north-east, Cape Ystiklettur. It is the latter we have depicted in the plate, for the original of which Mr. Schiertz, artist to the Expedition, made good use of his admirable water-colour sketches, taken on the spot. The rugged forms assumed in this humid climate by the disintegrated volcanic rocks are faithfully rendered. Ystiklettur, with its precipitous walls and long,' narrow ledges, exhibits the salient features of a fowling-cliff, where the white colour characteristic of bird-liaunts is picturesquely blent with the'natural brown of the rock; and here and l /
