He returned to his parents' home in SmSland, 

 and spent some weeks, and then went to Upsala to 

 prepare for the great journey and learn the result of his 

 publishing negotiations. Just after his return from Sten- 

 brohult another advertisement appears, dated Upsala, 

 March 15, 1732, of the ' Insecta Uplandica,' and a book 

 relating to the birds of Sweden. He took an affectionate 

 leave of Artedi, who was going to England to complete 

 his studies in ichthyology. They made their wills, and 

 the friends mutually assigned to each other such MSS. 

 treating of natural history, as they should be in posses- 

 sion of, in case either of them should die in their travels. 

 Linnseus bore also messages and letters from Artedi to 

 his relatives in Angermania.
