My visit to the Bahamas was made by means of a scholarship, received 

 from the University of Lund. The then Director of the Zoological Institute of the. 

 University, the late Professor D. Bergendal showed great interest in my journey 

 and placed at my disposal some of the scientific equipment ol the Institute, and his 

 successor as Director, Professor H. Wallengren gave me valuable help during my 

 stay in the Bahamas. To Professor A. Qdennerstedt and Consul W. Westrup, 

 Lund, I am mucli indebted for the pecuniary assistance given. Many services 

 were rendered me by the Sivedish Foreign Department, the Swedish Consul in Nas- 

 sau, Mr. Lewis Taylor, the Governor of the Bahamas, H. Exc. Sir Grey-Wilson 

 and many private persons. The Sivedish Powder Factory in Landskrona presented 

 me liberally a great number of cartridges, which proved to be of excellent manu- 

 facture, exposed as they were to both heat and water. The Zoological Museum in 

 Gothenburg gave me through the mediation of its Keeper Dr. L. Jägerskiöld a 

 grant for collecting for that museum also. 



I beg to express my best thanks to all the persons and institutes that have 

 in any way supported me during this journey.
