Object remarks: Maybe obtained in 1788. Origin Düsseldorf does not seem to be based on La Cepede (1788, 1:455) or Mus Ad Frid, rather on Sparrman himself. Agrees with the "terrestris morph" present in Düsseldorf./EIÅ, 2021
Locality remarks: Assumed to have been presented to KVA in 1799 - cf. /Quensels donationsbok/. Maybe Sparrman passed Düsseldorf on his way London - Stockholm 1788./EIÅ, 2021
