WESTBOTHLAND. 87 



morning to get to church on Sunday. On 

 this account they can very seldom attend 

 divine service, except on fast days, Whit- 

 sunday, Easter Sunday, and Christmas 

 day. 



How trifling would be the expense of 

 building a small church, and how much 

 have those in authority to answer for be- 

 fore God for neglecting to provide one ! 

 Timber for the purpose was brought here 

 so long ago as the time of the late Abraham 

 Lindelius ; but it has lain till it is rotten, 

 as the clergy find some difficulty in the 

 undertaking: nor is this the only obstacle! 



Here I observed a kind of dark-coloured 

 gnat with very large dark wings (Empis 

 borealis). 



May 28. 

 1 left Teksnas and proceeded to Genom ; 

 but as there is no conveyance but by water, 

 from the last-mentioned place to Lycksele, 

 and the wind blew very hard, I was obliged 

 to stop at Genom till the followmg day.
