Object remarks: Skin + cranium according to NRM acquisition journal 1842. ZI also received crania from Steenstrup of Anarhichas: A. lupus in 1883 (P. 630) and A. minor in 1885 (P. 631) according to ZI catalogue. Only a single Anarhichas cranium from 19th century found in NRM in 2007: ZI P.630. An additional A. lupus without data (AAA/1987999.3352), cleaned in 1987 may be added. Informative correspondence between Leche and Steenstrup may be saved in ZMC. More research needed to solve this. /EIÅ, 2007.
Locality remarks: Wikipedia: "...fik derefter i foråret 1839 overdraget det hverv at deltage i en geognostisk-økonomisk undersøgelsesrejse til Island sammen med Jørgen Christian Schiødte og Jonas Hallgrímsson. Rejsen gik over Norge, og i efteråret 1840 vendte Steenstrup tilbage med betydelige samlinger og en rig høst af iagttagelser."
