Object remarks: Labels from Leufsta (totally faded); Dalman, Smitt, and Andersson. De Geer had at least one specimen before 1766 and received one specimen from J A Schlosser's collection about 1769. In Hornstedt's catalogue (1788) is added a note that there are two specimens. In 1801 Quensel notes that after the receipt of the royal collection there are three dublicates of Coluber coeruleus or cyanus. Probably collected in Surinam maybe by Rolander in 1755 or obtained via the Dutch West Indian Company / EIÅ, 2015
