together to breed. This is the cafe in the 
woody, and mountainous parts of Sweden* 
more than in any other fpot of the earth j 
the Lapland plover called pago, the Norland 
pied chaffinch , the Oeland tringa called alwar - 
grim, the Gothland duck called eider, the artic 
duck of he ifland Carolina called torde, the Ot- 
tenbyenfian cobler's awl called \Jierfloecha, the pi- 
€us tridattylus of the Darlecarlians are all more 
rare in other countries than pheafants are with 
us. I may venture to affirm that no countrey up- 
on the face of the earth abounds more with 
birds and infe&s, than Sweden. Wild rein- 
deer, flying fquirrels, and the Norway rat that 
pours down in troops from the mountains 
into the plains below are unknown, and per- 
haps happily unknown, any where elfe. 
Forreigners come into the Dalecarlian mouft-; 
tains to catch falcons., as is well known. 
In the illand Faro, fituated near Goth- 
land, whale and falmon fifhery is very con- 
veniently carried on, and no where with 
greater profit. 
How many fpeeies of fifhes furnifii our ta- 
bles very common in Sweden, efpecially of 
the foftmouthed kind *, fuch as the afp, the 
winiba , the faren , the hiorkna, the mudd, and 
others^
