STOCKHOLM TO ULEABORG. 349
LOCAL OBSERVATIONS.
Muftanoja. . Here isa finall feparate houfe for the reception of travellers.
Oripaa. No lodging for firangers. At a little diftance from this place
is the fource of the river Aurajoki. The road is very finc, and goes
through the middle of a pine-wood.
Wirtzanoja, a wretched place belonging to the parith of Lofmijoki, and
the diftri€t Biérneborg or Satekunda. The road fiill proceeds through
woods of very old pine-trees.
Sallila-Peltari, One may here get fome kind of lodging. The pea-
fants are ftout and handfome people. You have to crofs the Loima,
Pungalaifis, and the Lembou or Ills, all of them fmall rivers that
empty themfelves into the river Cumo.
Mamala. ‘Here is a feparate fmall building for travellers.
rc
Kiviniemi. No lodging for firangers. The river Cumo appears very
confiderable, and the noife of its current is heard under the ice.
Soinila, a fmall hamlet without any accommodation for travellers, You
pafs over a wooden bridge about two hundred paces, or four hundred
feet long, which is called Wama/ky/ei Bro. The river forms here a
fort of cataraét, which falls down with a great roaring : in the Finnith
language a cataract is called ko/ki. What appears contrary to all
rule is, that the bridge is built in the fhape of a crefcent or half-
moon, with the curve turned towards the current.
