the place. It alfo appears, that he con traded at 

 this time an intimacy with one of that gentleman's 

 daughters, whom he married about five years 

 afterwards, upon his fettling as 2. ^hyfician 2X Stock- 

 holm. 



In this journey he extended his travels quite 

 acrofs the Dalekarlian Alps into Norway \ but vsfc 

 have no particular account of his difcoveries in 

 that kingdom. From its fituation, however, in 

 the fame parallels of latitude and of longitude, 

 nearly, with Sweden^ as well as from the face of 

 the country, but little variety could be expected 

 and from the Flora Norwegica of Bp. Gunner^ 

 fince publiflied, the vegetable produ6tions of na- 

 ture appear to be nearly the fame, except that 

 the Norway coafl: abounds with fuci or fea- wracks, 

 not known in the Baltic, 



In the year 1735, Linnaeus travelled over many 

 other parts of Sweden^ fome parts of Denmark and 

 Germany^ and fixed in Holland^ where he chiefly 

 refided until his return to Stockholm^ about the 

 year 1739. He here took his doctor's degree in 

 phyfic, in June 1735. How clearly the great 

 Boerhaave faw his merit will appear hereafter. 

 On the prefent occafion he fuftained a the/is under 

 the title of Hypothesis nova de febrium inter- 

 mittentium caufa. It is an enquiry into the caufes 

 of the frequency of that diftemper in Sweden^ 

 particularly in Upland^ and the fouth-eaft parts of 

 that kingdom ; which he was inclined to attribute 

 to a local caufe, after the mod minute fcrutiny 

 into the foil and fituation of thofe places where 

 this diftemper was fo remarkably prevalent and
