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 receive 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_ (_vulgaris_) with forked branches; _Pentaphylloides facie fragariæ_, (_Potentilla rupestris_?); and _Eruca foliis sinapeos_. (What this was does not appear.) I noticed lime-stone in the cliff at Calix and Tornea. [Illustration] The scythe which serves at Cronby in East Bothland, for mowing barley, is made exactly like the common one of the Finlanders, with the foremost handle underneath, but, that nothing may be wasted or lost, the machine b c is fixed to the scythe, b being stuck into the hole at a, and fastened with a pin through it at the other side. A cord is tied from the other end c to the handle d, before the scythe is used. The lower, or shortest, bar of this appendage scarcely extends beyond the extremity of the scythe at f. Its position is regulated by a cord, according to the inclination of the blade f g. The length of the main handle of the scythe, e f, is two ells. _August 31._ I collected and described various species of _Fungi_. (Here follow descriptions or characters of several species of _Agaricus_, _Boletus_ and _Hydnum_, given more correctly in the _Flora Lapponica_.) _September 3._ I stood sponsor to the son of the Burgomaster Geyer Svanberg, who was born the preceding night, or rather between one and two in the morning. He was named Geyer. Mr. Svanberg told me the (_Cotyledon_) _Umbilicus Veneris_ grew on a hill called _Karvick_, near Wallivari to the north. (This probably was not confirmed, as the plant does not occur in _Flo. Suecica_.) _September 4._ I went to Biorknas, in order to be instructed in the art of assaying. _September 9._ I examined the fish called in West Bothland _Natting_, (_Petromyzon fluviatilis._) Its upper jaw is acutely notched, resembling two teeth. The lower has seven small teeth, of which the two outermost are largest. Mouth in the under side of the head, gaping, oval, rather compressed. There are seven openings in a row behind the eyes, gradually larger as they recede from thence. The fins have no visible rays, but merely streaks, yet they are not adipose, or fat, fins. There is a prominent orifice on the top of the head. The _pericardium_ is cartilaginous. The fish is a span long. Its hind fin triangular.
