All the little woods and copses by the 

 road side abounded with Butterflies of the 

 Fritillary tribe, without silver spots. The 

 great Dragon Fly with two flat lobes at its 

 tail {Lihellula forcipata), and another spe- 

 cies with blue wings (L. Virgo), were also 

 common. 



Various modes of rocking children in 

 cradles are adopted in different places. In 

 Smoland the cradle is suspended by an 

 elastic pole, on which it swings up and 

 down perpendicularly. The poorer Lap- 

 landers rock their infants on branches of 

 trees, but those of superior rank have cra- 

 dles that commonly roll from side to side. 

 In the part of the country where I was now 

 travelling, the cradles rock vertically, or 

 from head to foot, as in the figure.
