Hudiksvall

This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:

(§120) Between the inn at Iggesund and Hudiksvall I saw the same violet clay in abundance. I noticed how it formed a layer in the sandy ditches and also observed it on a hillock above a lake that lay immediately alongside. The hillock was 18 feet high, of which humus made up 2 to 3 fingers' depth, followed by sand of one or two hands' depth, violet clay of two hands' depth and, finally, barren sand. Small bivalve shells, white and quite unbroken, lay in this clay; the violet colour, however, when I examined the particles, seemed to me to come from the brown shells that are found in such numbers on the seashore.6

(§125) HUDIKSVALL is a small town bordered by the sea on one side and by a small lake on the other.

(§126) From Hudiksvall onwards 'Rubus fragariae folio' [Arctic Bramble] grew and 'Lychnis sexualis rubra' [Red Campion] was in flower, as was 'Turritis' minima [Thale Cress].
