lOO ESMARK : MOLLUSCA OF NORWAY, 



Esmark, Birgithe, and Hoyer, F.A. — Land and Slisswasser 

 Mollusken des Norwegens. Mai. Bl. N. R, 1886. 



As but few districts have yet been examined I have, on 

 purpose to make it easier to see the different places where the 

 moUusks have been found, thought I had better use the ecclesi- 

 astical division in ' Stifter ' (Dioceses) for the southern part, 

 whilst the northern Tromso Stift must be divided into several 

 sub-divisions — the Amt of Nordland, the Amt of Tromso, and 

 the Amt of Finmarken. On the map you will find a reddish 

 colour laid on the chief localities. 



It is a great pleasure for me to have the opportunity of 

 giving my best and most hearty thanks to all who have assisted 

 me in many ways, also in lending me both specimens and col- 

 lections. Among these I shall mention the Professors Messrs. 

 R. Collett, Lilljeborg, and G. Sars ; J. S. Schneider, Manager 

 of the Museum at Tromso ; H. Friele, in Bergen ; and the late 

 Dr. C. M. Poulsen, in Copenhagen.
