Vaasa

This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:

(§1107) Arrived in VASA in the evening.

(§1108) 23rd. Went to the church in Vasa, looked at the castle in the south-west part of the town, looked at the school etc.; a small and quite pretty town. Seat of the provincial governor.

(§1112) 24th. A different kind of plough was used between New Karleby and Vasa. It was always drawn by a horse, rarely by an ox. If an ox was used, it pulled like a horse and used the same harness; no belly-band. On its back, however, there was a girth like a saddle-girth resting against the withers so that the harness would not slide forward on the ox. This was not used on horses.

(§1127) 25th. I set off from Vasa at dawn.

(§1130) 20 miles below Vasa I came across 'Solanum scandens' [Bittersweet] again.

(§1131) In the town of Vasa I saw 'Cardiaca' [Motherwort] and 'Hyoscyamus' [Henbane].
