page 75 note 1 The problems caused by the establishment of political frontiers in the region occupied by the nomadic Lapps were described in the Polar Record, Vol. 6, No. 43. 1952, p. 34858CrossRefGoogle Scholar. See also this issue. p. 73–74.

page 75 note 2 The number of Lapps in neighbouring countries has also increased: at the time of the last census in Sweden in 1945 there were 5278 Lappish-speaking citizens, and 4915 of Lapp descent who did not speak Lappish. According to the census made in Norway in 1930, there were 19,108 Lapps, 14,484 of whom spoke Lappish. The total number there is now about 22,000. In addition, there were about 1920 Lapps in the U.S.S.R. in Kol'ski Poluostrov in 1934, and this figure is also believed to have increased.
