178 GENERAL REMARKS
Having fully defcribed the huts and tents of the maritime and
mountain Laplanders, Mr. Leems proceeds to fpeak of the habi-
tations of the peafantsin Norway and Lapland. Thefe are mean
cottages, the fide walls formed of wood, the roof of turf, fupported on
boards which run longitudinally over the top. Theyare built without
chimneys, in this refpect differing from the huts of other peafants,
but have a paffage for the {moke through a number of apertures in
the fide walls, by which the light is likewife admitted. Their
fire-places are conftructed with heaps of {tones in the form of
ovens. The fire is daily lighted, and the door and holes before-
mentioned left open, that the fmoke may pafs off. The fuel
being fully confumed, the {tones which form the oven are found
thoroughly heated, and the door and apertures are clofed, by which
means a fufficient degree of warmth is preferved to laft till the
next day, when the oven is again lighted. Thefe peafants ufe
pieces of the fir-tree inftead of lamps, and pave their huts with
{mooth ftones.
