lesser sorts, which suffice not only for their own use, but to drive a great trade with their neighbours. They have Birds also of all sorts very many, but Fish in such abundance that a great part of the Natives are entirely fed by them. But of all these we shall speak in their proper places, I will add no more here but this, that the Description of old _Finland_ or _Scritofinnia_ by the Ancients is the same which hath bin given here of _Lapland_; to confirm what I said before that these Countries differ only in name, and not in nature and situation. We come now to its Division. CHAP. IV. _Of the Division of_ Lapland. Those who have writ of _Lapland_, mention different divisions of it. _Saxo_ in his 5^{th} Book, and elswhere, speaks of two _Laplands_, and after him _Johannes Magnus_ tells us, _that both the_ Laplands _are joined together Southward_. I suppose in that division they had respect to their situation, and meant the Eastern and the Western _Lapland_: for so _Damianus Goes_, who seems to borrow from _Joh. Magnus_, expresses it. _Lapland_, saith he, _is divided into the Eastern and the Western, separated from each other by the Bothnic Sea_. From whence we may gather that that part of the Country which lies on one side of the _Bothnia_, was called the Eastern _Lapland_, and that which lies on the other, the Western. Besides this division of _Lapland_, there is another taken from the places most frequented by the Inhabitants. For one part thereof, lying along the Coasts of the Ocean, is from thence called _Siœfindmarken_, that is _the maritime Lapland_; the other lying higher on the Continent, _Fiœldmarken_, that is, _inland Lapland_: tho by some they are called simply _Findmarken_ and _Lappmarken_. This last division _Pet. Claud._ gives us in his 27^{th} Chapter. _All the Sea Coasts_, saith he, _Northward and Eastward as far as_ Findmarkia _reaches, are possest by the_ Siæfinni, _or maritime Finlanders, but the mountainous and champaign Country, by the Lapfinni, from thence named Lapmarkia or Wildfindlandia, that is wild or savage Findland_. Where he calls one part of the Country _Lapmarckia_, the other _Findmarckia_, the one lying along the shore, and bordering on the Sea, the other mountainous, woody, and savage, upon the _Terra firma_. And this too may be worth our notice, that _Wildfinland_ with him is that which others call _Lappmarkia_: I suppose, because the Natives live by hunting, as those of the other do by fishing. For he presently adds, _There are many thousands in that place that feed on nothing but the flesh of wild Beasts_. And indeed some there are with whom those only pass for the true _Laplanders_: as _Samuel Rheen_, who in his 2^d Chapter of his forementioned Book, tells us, _that besides the Scrickfinni_ (so he calls them that with _Pet. Claud._ are _Siœfinnes_) _there are other true_ Laplanders, _that live on nothing but rain deer_. And so from the
