the most part in one place, at which time the Snow beginning to melt, they march nigher and nigher again towards the Mountains, where they remain till S. _Ericus_’s day: about which time because the female Rain-deer use to bring forth, therefore they remain in the same place untill the feast of _S. John_, or Midsummer-day. Afterwards, when, as well in the Mountains as Vallies, the grass and pasture do most florish, they proceed farther and farther, some on the tops of the highest Mountains, where the Rain-deers are less infested with flies and gnats, in which Mountains they wander up and down till the feast of S. _Bartholomew_, when by little and little they betake themselves to the Woods again, and then _Christmas_ coming they do again as we told you in the beginning. And these are the circuits of the _Laplanders_, and reasons why they cannot stay in one place, together with the times of their severall removes. But now these journeys sometimes are for many miles, and of a far longer space of time, so that sometimes they march for 20 miles and farther. Now because some of them live in the Mountains, some among the Trees, especially Pine-trees, nigh the Rivers and Lakes; therefore are they accordingly called by different names. Some are called _fiæll Lapper_, because they live in the Mountains nigh _Norway_, which are called _fiæll_. Others are termed _Graan Lapper_, because they live among the Pine trees, which are called by the _Swedes_ and _Norwegians_, _Graan_. For their journeys in the Summer they make different preparations from what they do in the Winter; in the Winter they use sledges (of which I will speak hereafter) but in the Summer they go on foot, the Rain-deers carrying their goods on pannels and pack-saddles, and sometimes their Infants also. So that in the Winter they put their houshold-stuff in one sledge, and their tents in another, and so march from place to place, but in the Summer they use pannels which they make after this manner: [Illustration]
