the Lapland huts. The last-mentioned in- 

 sect smells like rue. See figure. 



An oblong piece of brown cloth is sewed 

 into the back part of the collar of the wo- 

 men's jackets. 



Jime 4. 



Adjoining to a hut I remarked some 

 round pieces, apparently of a sort of nap- 

 ped cloth, as black as pitch. Not being 

 able to imagine what they could be, I was 

 informed they were the stomachs or ren- 

 net-bags of the reindeer turned inside out, 

 for the purpose of preserving the milk of 

 that animal in a dry state till winter. Be- 

 fore the milk thus preserved can be used, 

 it is soaked in warm water. Some use 

 bladders for the same purpose. In the 

 more mountainous parts they boil sorrel 

 (Rumej: Acetosa) with the milk which they 

 preserve for winter use.
