*) In the mountain ridge of Vesturháls is situated a group of tree lakes. One of
them may be seen on the Special Map of the Danish General Staff under the name
“Grænavatn”. The other two lakes are missing on this map, as well as on other ones.
We call the largest of these lakes (the southernmost one) Stóra Grænavatn, the
second largest one (called on the map Grænavatn) Lítla Grænavatn, and the smallest
one Minnsta Grænavatn; this last one is situated to the West of Lítla Grænevatn.
In my paper “Plantae faeroenses ac islandicae” 1937 I have used for the same
locality the name “Minnsta Vestur Grænavatn”. Ingimar Óskarsson in “Nýjungar
1937” has used for the same lake the name Lítla Grænavatn.
