found in the lakes, and higher up all fish- 

 ing ceases. 



4. All mountains above this limit are 

 called Fjäll (Alps). Near rivulets and on 

 the margins of bogs only, is found a little 

 brush-wood, consisting of Salix glauca, 

 whose grey hue affords but little ornament 

 to the landscape. The lower country is co- 

 vered with the dark-looking Beiula nana, 

 which still retains its upright posture. A 

 few Juniper bushes, and some plants of 

 Salix hastata, are found scattered about. 

 Every hill is covered with Arbutus alpina, 

 variegated with Andromeda carulea and 

 Trientalis europcea. The more boggy 

 ground is decorated with Andromeda po- 

 lifolia in its greatest beauty, and Pedicu- 

 laris lapponica. On the sides of the moun- 

 tains, where the reflected heat has the 

 greatest power, grow Veronica alpina, 

 Viola biflora, Pteris crispa, and Angelica 

 Archangelica. This zone extends within 

 1400 feet of the line of perpe-tual snow.
