The author knows of only one other recent case of a large whale liaving trouble with fishing nets in Icelandic waters. This was in January 1978 when some fishermen came upon a humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) entangl- ed in tlieir nets off Eyjafjördur in north íceland. The buoy-line of tlie nets WaS wound arond tlie tail of the whale giving the animal some freedom of movement. Leaving the site to fetcli some imple- ments to free the wliale and recover their nets the fishermen returned to the spot on the following day to find tliat the whale had vanished with the nets and could not be found again in spite of a thorough search.

Síðastliðið sumar, 8.-9. ágúst, fór- um við um þessi svæði og fundum nokkrar tegunclir plantna, sem ekki er getið í skránni. Ekki er hér um að ræða neinar fá- séðar tegundir, en engu að síður telj- um við rétt að geta þeirra. Markverð- ast má þó telja, að í hraunjaðri aust- an Grafarlandaár uxu birki, um 60 cm hár runni, og einir, að líkindunt nokkur hundruð ára gamall. Viðauki við flóru þessara svæða er: ;t) Herðubreiðarlindir (reitur 6347): Minuartia biflora (L.) Scli. & Th. (fjallanóra) Tripleurospermurn maritirnum (L.) Kocli (baldursbrá) b) Grafarlönd eystri (reitur 6346): Betula pubescens Ehrh. ssp. tortu- osa (Ledeb.) Nyman (birki) Botrychium lunaria (L.) Sw. (tungljurt) Draba norvegica Gunn. (hagavor- blóm) Juniperus communis L. v. mon- tana Ait. (einir) Luzula sudetica (Willd.) DC. (dökkhæra) Minuartia biflora (L.) Sch. & Th. (fjallanóra) Viscaria alpina (L.) G. Don (Ijós- beri). < , .
