Torfmossar, called also Mossmyror and Snottermyror, and, 2. Bjornmossar. Trask are pools fed by bogs, or water emanating from them, and their bottoms are slimy; Tjernar are small Trask situated within the limits of Mossar. L.L. Laestadius, om Mojligheten af Uppodlingar i Lappmarken, pp. 23, 24.
The forest, indeed, rapidly recovers itself, but it is a generation or more before the reindeer-moss grows again. When the forest consists of pine, tall, the ground, instead of being rendered fertile by this process, becomes hopelessly barren, and for a long time afterwards produces nothing but weeds and briers. Laestadius, Om Uppodlingar i Lappmarken, p. 15.
Om Uppodlingar i Lappmarken, p. 50. Earlier in the year the trout feeds on the larvae of the May fly, which is itself very destructive to the spawn of the salmon, and hence, by a sort of house-that-Jack-built, the destruction of the mosquito, that feeds the trout that preys on the May fly that destroys the eggs that hatch the salmon that pampers the epicure, may occasion a scarcity of this latter fish in waters where he would otherwise be abundant.
