THE GRAFAIANDA. 77 flows north-east into the Jokulsa. This water no doubt comes from patches of snow upon the Dyngjufjoll, the Trolladyngjur mountains and Herbubreib, and as is generally the case around these mountains, loses itself in the sand and lava at their base to reappear as a stream when it can no longer find a subterranean passage. The banks of this stream were covered with dwarf birch and salix, but the larger wood was dead, and this would seem to show that the woods were more extensive and of a stronger growth in bj'gone years than at the present time. I have observed this in other parts of Iceland. There was also here an abundance of grass, making it an excellent halting place for anyone desirous of exploring the adjacent mountains. It was in this vicinity, tradition tells us, that the last of the Icelandic outlaws found a shelter, and, as late as a hundred years ago, one man, named Eyvindr, lived here for a considerable time, and a cave in the north of Herbubreib hill memorialises his handy-work, in the shape of a horse carved upon its roof or walls. He appears, however, to have been by no means of terrible character, and was in great favour with the country people. We next moved on to the river Linda, about four miles in advance, and three miles north-east of HerSu- breib. Here there was good grass for the horses, aud angelica grew abundantly, and the stems and roots
