GENERAL REMARKS 
however, be an aft of injuftice, if I claimed the merit of the laft 
mentioned additions as entirely my own ; and I therefore acknow¬ 
ledge with grateful pleafure the obligations I owe to feveral lite¬ 
rary gentlemen for their liberal affiftance. Dr. Quenzel, of Stock¬ 
holm, furnifhed me with the lift in the branch of zoology ; by the 
kindnefs of Mr. Paycul, of Stockholm, and Profeffor Thunberg, 
of Upfala, in granting me free accefs to their valuable cohesions, 
1 was enabled to form a catalogue, and to take drawings of many 
curious objects. Here I cannot omit mentioning the name of my 
friend Lieutenant Guftavus Brandel, who, being a proficient in 
the art of drawing, rendered himfelf very ufeful to me by his aid 
and good advice. For the lift of the indigenous plants of Lap- 
land, I am indebted to the goodnefs of ProfefTor Swartz, a name 
too well known to need any commendation from my pen ; and 
for that of the minerals my thanks are due to Mr. Hyelm, in- 
fpetftor of the mufeum of minerals, and matter of the mint, at 
Stockholm, a gentleman not lefs diftinguifhed by his accurate 
knowledge, than by the fimplicity and politenefs of his manners, 
and his readinefs to aflift the inquifitive in the purfuit of fcience.
