This (lay I observed tlie harvest begin- 

 ning. The corn now cutting, though sown 

 but a few days before midsummer, was 

 nevertheless quite ripe. The lent rye was 

 not yet ripe enough to be cut, but the 

 winter rye ripens some time before the 

 other corn. Tims it appears that corn 

 (barley) springs up and ripens at this place 

 in the space of sixty days. 



In my walks I gathered the berries of 

 the Strawberry-leaved Bramble (Rabus 

 arcticus), which proved delicious. They 

 have somewhat of the flavour of Black- 

 berries [Riihifs fnitico.sif.s), but are more 

 agreeable. This fruit does not separate 

 from its calyx like other species of its ge- 

 nus. It is a compound berry, in size and 

 structure somewhat between what the Smo- 

 landers call Kodden {Rnbifs saxatilis), and 

 Raspberries [R. idceiis). Its colour is a 

 brownish crimson.
