snake, without any notion of the arms of a calamary. As to the 
seizing of a man, we believe that a large calamary was the robber, 
whose deed is wrongly attributed to the sea-serpent. Last not least, 
it distinctly shows the long hairs, hanging down from its neck, a 
true mane, and several credible persons declare to have seen them. 
Atprovanpus, 1640, believes that the sea-serpent of the Baltic 
or Swedish Ocean is the same as that of the Norwegian Ocean. 
I believe he is right. Moreover he repeats the texts of OLaus Maanus 
and GxsNER. His figures are enlargements of the figures on the Map 
of Scandinavia, which accompanies the edition of O.aus Maenus’ work, 
unknown to me, and mentioned above. He only omits the water, 
the ship and the man in its mouth. Of his figures I don’t give 
copies , because they are exact enlargements of our fig. 15 and 16. —

Kd. I, 1650, Ed. I, 1674) “and that this is true has not long 
ago been confirmed by a Swedish nobleman at Gottorf, who 
declared to have heard from the Burgomaster of Malmoi, a trust- 
worthy man, that, whilst standing on a hill on the Norwegian 
coast, he saw in the calm water a large serpent, which seen from 
afar, had the thickness of a wine barrel, and 25 windings. These 
serpents are said to appear on the surface of the water only in 
calm weather and at certain times.” 
Here again we have the statement, that in the Norwegian sea, 
and most probably in the Sound between Sweden and Danmark , 
a large animal was seen, looking like a huge serpent, and the 
confirmation that it comes to the surface of the water only in 
calm weather and at certain times. I beg the reader to fix his 
attention on those apparently imsignificant statements, as it will be 
seen that they are given several times independant of one another.
