THE LAPLAND ALPS. 305 



mained here all the following clay and night, 

 not only because it was Sunday, but be- 

 cause I was too much tired to undertake to 

 cross the ice that day. Near the icy moun- 

 tains the water of the neighbouring lakes 

 was frozen to the depth of a fathom. I 

 employed myself in making the following 

 memorandums. 



I was told that Fungi are very plentiful 

 in the alps in autumn. 



Scarcely any other fish is found in the 

 lakes of this neighbourhood than the 

 Kuding, which the Laplanders call Raud 

 {Salmo alpiiius, or Charr), and this is ex- 

 tremely abundant. It is a Salmon, or rather 

 Trout, with a scarlet belly. Its length is 

 about a foot. The scales are extremely 

 minute. Head smooth, ovate, obtuse. Jaws 

 furnished with teeth, and the tongue also 

 bears two rows of teeth, six in each row. 

 The palate moreover is toothed at each side. 

 Nostrils small, with two holes to each, one 

 above the other, the lowermost largest, and 

 capable of being closed. Iris of the eyes
