30 GUIDE TO ICELAND. there, and select a locality a day or two’s journey distant as a sporting ground. The farmer with whom, the sportsmen obtain quarters will bring up their baggage. Clothing.—All clothing should he strong and new, that it may the better stand rough usage. Two suits should he taken, it being advisable to have a change. The material should be a stout tweed of a darkish hue, that it may not soil too readily; but the rein- deer stalker will need one suit of lightish grey. Have the coats made with stout woollen linings, and the vests to button up close round the neck when required. Let the coats be double- breasted, and in shape like a reefing jacket—an excellent style of coat for either shooting, riding, or boating. The shoulders should be protected by a strip of cloth (of the same kind as the coat looks neater than strips of another material or leather), sewn on, four inches wide, reaching from the collar to the sleeve seam, to take the chafe and wear of the gun. • The pockets should he made of some strong waterproof material to adapt them for carrying cartridges. Boots.—A pair of good stout sea-hoots, reaching well up the thighs, for riding; and a light pair of porpoise hide shooting-boots for ordinary wear. A pair of slippers should be taken, as ‘ slippered ease ’ is ease indeed after riding all day in long boots. Mem. Have your sea-boots well greased every morning before setting out: and if they are made on the ‘ Field-boot ’ principle to lace over the instep, they will come on and off more easily than the ordinary kind. Waterproofs.—A good stout Macintosh is indispensable. One of the new kind made of waterproofed tweed, with a cloth lining and a layer of rubber between, is to be preferred to all other kinds, or to the unpleasantly olfactory and sticky oilskins that have been recommended for use in Iceland. A ‘ sou-wester ’ is equally indispensable. These two articles should be strapped behind the traveller’s saddle ; and in the neighbourhood of the ice-clad Joklar, especially in the south, he should never set out to ride a mile without them, heavy showers frequently coming on very suddenly in the vicinity of the extensive ice-fields. Map.—There is an excellent map of Iceland, by Gunnlaugsson, in four sheets, each 22 in. by 17 in. Its price in Reykjavik, un- mounted, is 12 kroner, mounted and in a case, 22 kroner. It may be obtained in London at Messrs. Stanford's, Charing Cross; its price, however, mounted and in a case, is £2 16s. 6d. The map with this work will be found, it is believed, sufficiently complete for all the wants of the tourist.
