Lapp. p. 158: where he fays thus. ' In my 



* journey thro' Dalecarlia, when we had climbed 



* up the mountains, and were got into Norway, 

 ^ my fellow travellers being tired, and adeep, i 

 ' wandered about in a difmal wood, and per- 



* ceived that the horfes eafily diftinguifhed 



* wholefome from noxious food ; for being verjr 



* hungry, they devoured all forts of plants, ex- 



* cept the following \ meadow fwect^ valerian^ 



* lilly of the valley^ angelica^ loofe-ftrife^ marjh- 

 ^ cinquefoil^ cranes hill^ hellebore^ monks-hood^ and 



* many fhrubs. This gave me a hint to re- 



* commend to the curious, that they w^ould fet 

 ' about examining what plants fuch animals, as 



* live on vegetables, viz. the coWy the Jheep, the 

 ^ goat^ the deer, the horfe, the hog^ the monkey 



* and their fpecies will not touch. An examina- 



* tion which would not be without its ufe, were 



* it properly made.' Notwithftanding this re- 

 commendation no enquiry was made, till our 

 prefident returned home from his travels thro* 

 forreign countries, and made a progrefs thro* 

 our own provinces. Afterwards profeflbr Kalm, 

 that worthy difciple of fo great a mailer, follow- 

 ed his example ; fo that in his journey to Bahus 

 we find mention made of fome plants, which 

 cattle either eat, or refufe. Ann. 1747 ^"^
