RETROSPECTIVE NOTE. Vv 
the interest taken in them is greater than that attaching to 
those of any existing species. Herein I have had the advantage 
of obtaining the help of Mr. Grénvoup, and I believe it is

places named in these volumes, and readers acquainted with 
the beautifully executed maps of the portion of Sweden and 
Finland included in it may not unjustly complain of its want 
of finish and neatness. But it may perhaps pass muster, as 
accurate maps of Lapland—that very ill-defined country lying
