ICELANDIC LOCALITIES INVESTIGATED
IN JULY AND AUGUST 1935
My investigations in the summer of 1935 began in the first part
of July in S.W. Iceland, viz. in the country around Reykjavík, Hafnar-
fjörður and Þingvellir. I continued my researches in N.W. Iceland,
where, however, I only paid short visits to some places, and in N. Ice-
land in the part near Siglufjörður. In the latter part of July I visited
N.E. Iceland, viz. the part around Lagarfljót with the largest birch
copses in the country; a homefield at Lindabrekka; the depression near
Mývatn with Laxárdalur; a birch copse in Fnjóskadalur, and the part
around Akureyri. In the first days of August I again visited S.W. Ice-
land, viz. the mountain slopes with birch copses near Laugarvatn and
Reykir at Álafoss, and finally the Vestmannaeyjar.
My largest finds were made in Brekka, Egilstaðir, and Hallorm-
staður near Lagarfljót; on Slúttnes in Mývatn; in Skútustaðir and
Garður-Grænavatn at the south end of Mývatn, and especially in the
birch copse near Laugarvatn in S. Iceland.
