TORNEA. 171 



3. Aspen trees, whose bark is rough on 

 the north side, smooth on the opposite 

 part, 



4. Old withered Pines are clothed, on 

 the north side, with the black Usuea, or 

 filamentous Lichen (L.jubatus). 



By such marks as these they are able to 

 find their way through pathless forests. 

 Have we any guides so certain ? 



When these people kill any wild rein- 

 deer with fire-arms in summer, they lodge 

 the carcase in a cold cellar, and cut it up 

 as they want it for provision. 



I observed a curious kind of lime-stone 

 burnt at Kimi, Tornea, and other places 

 round the neighbouring sea-coast. 



August 14. 



A very rainy day. A silver ore from Hjor- 

 tot has been assayed by the Mineral Board, 

 and found to contain forty per cent, lead, 

 but only three or four of silver.
