all the characters of a Tardus, so that I do 

 not scruple to define it Turdus caudå, rubra 

 ttiedio cinereå. It had moreover the flight 

 and voice of a Turdus, screaming in the 

 same manner. Towards evenino- I noticed 



o 



a black sort of Plover, with legs of a yel- 

 lowish green, and had also an opportunity 

 of killing a Lomm {Colymbus arcticus), 

 which I stuffed, and of which I made a 

 description in my ornithological manu- 

 script. The bill was not toothed. 



Towards evening I reached Stocknas- 

 mark and lamtboht, where grew the pretty 

 little Canieraria of Ruppius and Dillenius 

 (Moiiiia fontana), a plant that had never 

 fallen in my way before. In Källheden it 

 was peculiarly abundant, and afterwards I 

 found it common throughout Westbothnia. 

 It is one of the smallest of plants. 



The Laplanders in this neighbourhood 

 had set traps to catch squirrels. Each 

 consists of a piece of wood cloven half way 

 down, and baited with a piece of dried 

 fungus with which the animal is enticed.
