Beschreibung

Lund, literis Berlingianis, 1832. 8:o. (4),124 pp. Green moiré cloth from the 1840s, somewhat worn, spine gilt and with gilt lettering, marbled edges. A couple of insignificant minor stains. Flyleaves partly discoloured, interior browned and with foxing in parts. Several pencil notes and markings, a few passages crossed-out. Signatures of Otto Torell from 1847 and Gunnar Alm, dated 1917.Lundberg Sveriges ichthyologiska literatur p. 4. The first 80 pages were also published as a dissertation the same year. 165 species are listed. "Prodromus" laid the foundation to a critical overview of the swedish fish fauna. Otto Torell (1828-1900) began his studies in Lund in 1844, took part in Sven Lovén's studies of the fish fauna along the swedish west coast, was appointed assistant master in zoology in 1860 and temporary professor in zoology and geology at Lund university in 1866. He is mostly known for his achievements as a polar explorer and geologist. As far as one can judge, Torell is the one who has made the knowledgeable pencil notes in this copy. Gunnar Alm (1889-1962) was an ichtyologist working at the fisheries office at the Swedish Board of Agriculture. He also published a number of works on fish and fisheries.
