Taxacom: [KU SUSPECT SPAM] Re: Habitat in M. Norvegico, A. R. Martin.

[Geoff Read]

Excellent Ken,

That's my man.

"In 1760, he did a trip to Norway's west coast, and did collections of
sea-living animals using Bergen as a base"

So in this case presumably Linnaeus actually saw the animal specimens.
Often he is relying on literature of others.

Thanks,
Geoff

Hi Geoff,
          I looks like it might be Anton Rolandsson Martin (1729-1785), a
Swedish biologist.  Here is the Wikipedia article on him:

Anton Rolandsson Martin - WikipediaAnton Rolandsson Martin (3 August 1729
at Mündi manor (Müntenhoff) near Paide, Estonia - 30 January 1785 in Åbo)
was a Swedish botanist.. He was son of Roland Martin, who later became an
appeals court judge, and was born when the family was visiting friends in
current Estonia.In the mid-1730s, the family moved to Åbo in present-day
Finland, as the father received a position as secretary ...

Hi all,

Linnaeus (1761) in Fauna Svecica refers repeatedly to "Habitat in M.
Norvegico, A. R. Martin" with & without the initials.

It looks like a reference to a collector, but it would be more useful if
there was a publication, or at least if background info was available.  Is
it known who A. R. Martin was please?
