Locality: western Greenland, probably from Kangersuatsiaq
Field Number: GRÖ-PRÖVEN
Leg: Torell, OM & Jacobson, A
Date: 1859

Object remarks: Oldest label by Andersson, about 1906. Original label lost.
Locality remarks: Unlikely vessel Pröven (to Novaya Zemlya in 1875) rather the town Prøven (=Kangersuatsiaq) in Greenland. Field number 59 is probably the year. Torell's expedition has almost no documentation - cf. Liljequist, 1993 p. 24. (But, there should be a travel account manuscript stored at KVA; not seen.) /EIÅ, 2010.
