ed in 1650) on Cape Lindesnaes (formerly Lindandisnas, Engl.
Naze, Dutch Ter Neuze), 160 ft. in height. The part of Norway to
the E. of an imaginary line drawn from Cape Lindesnæs to the
peninsulaofStadt (p. 169)is called Søndenfjeldske or Østenfjeldske
Norge, that to the W. Vestenfjeldske Norge. The promontory is
united with the mainland by the low Spangereid.
57 Kil. (35’/4 Engl. M.) Farsund (Jahnseu’s Hotel; Mr. P. I.
Sundt, English vice-consul; telegraph-station), a small seaport with
1500inhab., situated near the mouth of a fjord running inland in
three long ramifications, into the easternmost of which falls the
Lyngdals-Elv. — Having now passed the southernmost part of the
Norwegian coast, extending from Christiansand to Farsund, the
steamboat steers towards the N., skirting the district of Lister,
with its lighthouse, passes the mouth of the Feddefjord on the
right, and enters the Flekkefjord, at the head of which lies —
44 Kil. (271/2 Engl. M.) Flekkefjord (Wahl’s Hotel; Mr. J. P. M.
Eyde, English vice-consul; telegraph-station’), a prettily situated
seaport with 1700 inhab. and a sheltered harbour. To the S.E. lies
(6 Engl. M.) Fedde (p. 40 ) on the fjord of that name, into which the
Kvinesdal descends from the N.E., and to the N. runs the Siredal,
with the Siredalsvand (120 ft.), a lake 16 Engl. M. long, the outlet of
which falls into the Lundevand. a long lake to the W. of the
Flekkefjord. — A little beyond the mouth of the Lundevand, from which
the Sira empties itself into the sea in the form of a cascade, is —
8 Kil. (5 Engl.M.) Ragefjord, the station forNf)^udui(Sluhoug’s
Hotel), about 3 Engl. M. inland, in the neighbourhood of which
are several iron-mines worked by English enterprize.

Ekersund or Egersund, a town with 2800 inhab. and a porcelain
factory , lies in a singularly bleak and rocky region, at the S. end
of Jaderen, the flat coast-district extending between this point
and Stavanger. An excellent survey of the environs is obtained
from the rocky hill at the back of Ellingsen’s Inn, with a pole on
the summit, reached in 25 min. by traversing a narrow street
opposite the railway-station, and ascending to the right past the
cemetery and a farm-house.
The Railway from Ekersund to Stavanger (76 Kil., or
47 Engl. M., in 3’/4 hrs.; fares 4 kr., 2 kr. 48 0.), which traverses
this coast-plain, presents little attraction, the scenery being very
dreary as far as Sandnces, but is preferable to the steamboat if
the traveller is liable to sea-sickness. The chief stations are
(38 Kil.) Narbe, with a telegraph-station, (62 Kil.) Sandnas
(telegraph-station), prettily situated at the head of the Stavanger Fjord
(comp, the Map’), and (77 Kil.) Stavanger.
