EAST BOTHLAND. 



(The annexed cut seems to be a repre- 

 sentation of one of these dwelluigs, at which 

 Linnaeus was so indignant.) 



Near the ferry of Haukipudas, stones are 

 collected from the sliore, which, though 

 nothing but concretions of sand and small 

 pebbles, are so firm as to serve for the con- 

 struction of ovens. At one spot, where the 

 river had excavated the sandy bank, it was 

 evident that the cement, which combines 

 these particles together, is no other than a 

 rust of iron. The stones in general here- 

 abouts are very fine-grained, and break 

 easily. They ha\'e all the appearance of 

 x:ontaining a portion of iron. Some were 

 more rugged and rusty than the rest.
