tORNEA. 193 



The sledges, or beams, a, b, differ from 

 the common ones in being broader, and in 

 the elevation or thickness of each at d. 

 The transverse beam c, on which the load 

 is laid, is bored through at each end, to re- 

 ceive the supporting pieces. The slender 

 bars e, e, which may be termed clavicles, 

 are broadest in the fore part, where they 

 also are bored through, and fastened with 

 pegs, serving to give stability to the cross 

 beam c. Two of these carriages are tied 

 together, one behind the other, through the 

 hole in the cross beam, at k. The loop, i, 

 is made of birchen twigs. 



At Calix I found the Hippuris (vulga- 

 ris) with forked branches ; Pentaphylloides 

 facie fragarics, (Fotentilla rupestris ?) ; 

 and Erucafoliis sinapeos, (What this was 

 does not appear.) 



I noticed lime-stone in the cliff at Cahx 

 and Tornea.
