ful articles.” The herds range in number from 100 to 2000 and 
There are two classes of these nomads, those who remain with 
their herds during the year, and those who from May to August 
leave their flocks and take to fishing. The Lapp is assisted in 
the care of his herd by a very intelligent race of dogs. The 
sledges are of three kinds: 
Kerres, in which the traveler sits as in a boat. 
Lakkek, for freight, decked over. 
Pulkan, sledge proper, half covered, used on important occasions. 
The snow shoes are six to seven feet long and three and a halt 
to four inches wide, used either in walking or when the owner is 
drawn by reindeer. 
Mr. Keane closes his deeply interesting paper with references 
to the social life, the religion and the language of the Lapps. i 
Dr. Garson gives a close anthropometric description of a family 
of Lapps exhibiting in London.
