Determiner: Linnaeus, C 1757 Length: Preparation: Liquid
Continent/Ocean: Africa Country: EGYPT State/Province:
District: Municipality:
River Drainage: Lake Basin: Ocean:
Locality: Nile delta, Rashid
Field Number: LIN/H-1750JUL03 Leg: Hasselquist, F Date: 7 Jul 1750
SYNTYPE Anguis jaculus Linnaeus, 1758
Object remarks: Check type status/category. Originally two spms in one jar, split in 1991. Hasselquist does not mentions the number of spms - nor does Linnaeus. Quensel in his catalogue 1802 notes only one spm. This spm confers well with Linnaeus/Hasselquist descriptions according to Anatoly Tokar (but not according to L.G. Andersson label written 1899)/EIÅ, 1993
Locality remarks: Locality updated from Rosette. No collecting data on labels - all data from Hasselquist, Iter Palaestinum, p. 70-72; 315-322. Previously included in King Adolf Fredrik's collection. Transferred from Drottningholm Castle to KVA [=later NRM] in 1801.
