Telemark goat (1200 kg. milk per year). ginating from England, whereas the goats are practically speaking ex- clusively of Norwegian origin. The goats are comparatively small, but are as a general rule good milkers. A b'—d of Telemark-goats at the State School for Teachers to Smallholders has in the year 1920 given an average yield of 970 kg. of milk. The best animal yielded 1210 kg. The health-conditions amongst the live-stock in Norway are very good. Foot-and-mouth disease, for example, does not exist and tuber- culosis amongst cattle is of rare occurrence. Amongst goats tuberculosis is altogether unknovv-n. (See hereinafter.) As already stated, forest-lands constitute a considerable portion of the area of Norway, "'imely over 7 million hectares. The principal forest trees are: fir (picea excelsa), pine (pinus silve- stris), together with birch, lowland-birch (betula verrucosa) in the low- lying districts and mountain-birch (betula odorata) in the highland districts. In the high-mountains the dwarf-birch (betula nana) covers exten- sive tracts of land. In addition to three sorts of trees above mentioned there occur: ash (fraxinus excelsior), oak (qercus pedunculata et sessiliflora), beech.
