Ulrika had caused this to be founded. The ever memorable king 
Gustvf III had promised and Gustaf Adolf most graciously had it 
sent hither. This valuable museum of natural history was composed 
of (animals etc.), several sorts of wood and Hasselquist’s and 
Kalm’s herbaria. » (Museum naturalium Academise Upsahensis auctum 
1827, p. 2). Another of these dissertations (Mus. natur. Acad. 
Upsal. XXVI, 1805) consists of a catalogue of »Herbarium a 
Celeb. Kalm collectum» and the succeeding one (XXVII, 1810) 
contains a list of sorts of wood collected by Prof. Kalm from 
N. America and a supplement to Kalm’s American herbarium. 
This Kalmian herbarium is kept in the same sort of boxes 
as I have described and drawn in my paper on Hasselquist’s 
herbarium. The plants are glued on the same sort of paper as 
in the latter, but Kalm’s own letters show that they were glued 
o 
in Abo. 
The collection contains about 380 specimens. On the back 
of the sheet in most cases the name of the plant is written, 
often according to Linnaeus’ Spec, plant. 1753, yet without quo¬ 
ting the specific (»trivial») name. In many cases we find a name 
given by Kalm and followed by the words »F 1 . canad. mss.» 
Then often come native names, statements about habitat and 
distribution, time of flowering, and use, the latter often in the 
form of a reference to Kalm’s »En kärt berättelse, etc». All 
these notes are written by Kalm himself, as was made certain 
by a comparison with letters which Kalm wrote in the year 
1 7 5 5 • 1 On the front sides of most of the sheets Tfiunberg has 
written the name given by Linnaeus, the same as we find in 
his published catalogues of the herbarium. But many of the 
specimens have no names at all, only in some cases numbers 
written by Kalm on the back. As an example of the writing 
on the back of the sheets I quote the following here: 
»Azalea foliis ovatis, corollis pilosis, staminibus longissimis. 
Linn. spec. 150: 3. May-blomster af de Svenska i Norra Ame- 
1 I am much indebted to the Chief Librarian D:r J. M. FIulth, who has very kindly 
allowed me to see some original letters from Kalm and to make use of his collection of 
copies of Kalm’s letters to Linnaeus.
