LOCAL OBSERVATIONS.
filari. Here is a fmall church for the convenience of the Laplanders
in winter. No body lives here in fummer. Hence you meet with
neither houfes nor people till you get clofe to Alten.
Koinosjoki is the name of a river (joki fignifies a river). Here we quitted
the river Alten and our boats, to traverfe the mountains on foot. No
veftige of a human habitation all this way.
Salvargot: a deferted cottage, where we pafied the night in the midit
o f mountains. We again joined the river Alten near the fpot where
it receives the river Katiojoki. Unlefs you meet with fome people
that are fiihing for falmon, you are obliged either to fwim acrofs the
river, or to go up its banks till you find a place which is fordable.
Lainie is a fmall village, where we ftopt before we proceeded to Alten.
Alten\% only the houfe of a merchant, with fome eftablifhment of pea-
fantry about it. It is fituated on the gulf of Alten Fiord, which is
an arm of the Frozen Ocean. A quarter of a mile hence (Swed. or
Nowegian) is Altengaard, which is properly the refidence of the bailiff
of Norwegian Lapland, and belongs to the government of Dron-
theim.
