The first locality - A (4 samples) is situated in northern Norway approximately 100 km south of Narvik, the second - B (3 samples) and third - C (1 sample) localities are situated in southern Norway. Samples were taken from brooks and surrounding area, and in one case from the sediment of the lake Finsevatnet.
