About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1885 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII. ABOUT THE REINDEER. Their Importance To The Lapp--Eemarkable Yield--Build And Appearance--Strange Shape Of Horns--Their Growth--Reindeer versus Stag--Curious Mark Of Ownership--Fodder--Reindeer Feeding--Tame Or Wild?--Breaking-in A ReinDeer--A Fine Herd--A Splendid Forest Scene--A Comic Incident--Size Of Herds--A Rich Lapp--Enormous Totals--Precariousness Of Reindeer-raising--Enemies Of The Deer--Travelling With Reindeer--Travellers' Tales--The Speed--In Bad Weather--An Experience To Be Remembered--Marvellous Faculty Of Orientation--A Night In The Snow--The Slaughtering Season---Oestrus tarandi--Killing A Reindeer--A Cruel Method--Lapp Dainties--Charms Of The Northern Regions--The Camel Of The Arctic Desert.

I intend in this chapter to describe these remarkable animals, which have an additional interest as being at one time found over the whole of Europe, but are now confined to the extreme North alone.
