of the first Bishop Brand. And here ends this story.

(This translation is made from the version of the Saga printed in Dr.
Gudbrand Vigfusson's _Icelandic Prose Reader_. The passages in square
brackets are taken from the Hauks-bok version given in _Antiquitates
Americanæ_. It may be mentioned here that Carl Christian Rafn and the
other Danish scholars who edited this elaborate work have concluded
that Kjalarnes is the modern Cape Cod, Straumsfjordr is Buzzard's Bay,
Straumsey is Martha's Vineyard, and Hop is on the shores of Mount Haup
Bay, into which the river Taunton flows.

English readers of Icelandic owe a large debt to Dr. Vigfusson for his
labours in the cause of Icelandic literature. The great _Dictionary_,
the _Sturlunga Saga_, and the _Prose Reader_, together make an undying
claim on our gratitude; and yet they only show how very much more is
still to be done. May we hope that Dr. Vigfusson will not cease from
his labours until he has put forth a large instalment of the series
which he has sketched in the able introduction to the _Sturlunga_, p.
ccix.; and that the Delegates of the Clarendon Press will continue
generously to appreciate his eager, scholarly, and laborious
enthusiasm.)
