14 CATALOGUE OF THE 



Limie was called upon to describe the collections of King 

 Adolt" Fredrik at Ulriksdal, and of Qneeu Ludovica Ulrica ac 

 Drottningholm, We know that the queen allowed him to have a 

 specimen of Hasselquist's plants whenever there were three, and I 

 suggest that these signs refer, Nos. 1 to 4, to Queen Ulrica's col- 

 lection, and Xos. 5 to 7 to the King's Museum. I interpret the 

 signs as showing the number of the given insect in the collection 

 seen by Linne, thus : — 



1. One specimen in the Queen's collection. 



2. Two specimens , ., 



3. Three „ „ „ ,, The sign doubled 



may stand for six. 



4. Four ,. ., „ ., 



5. One specimen in the King's collection. 



6. Two specimens „ „ 



7. Three ,, ,, ,, 



8. Unknown ; it occurs only once. 



It ma}^ serve as a test of these views, if I append lists of the 

 various species marked with these signs ; if I am right in my 

 interpretation, it may serve as an additional piece of historical 

 information relative to the Royal collections.
