Excerpt from Bird Life in Arctic Norway: A Popular Brochure
This paper was written for the Second International Ornithological Congress, held in Budapest, in May, 1891, and a portion of it was read during one of the meetings of the Congress. The Author wishes therefore to call attention to the fact that it is adapted to an audience whose conceptions of the natural features of the country described could not be supposed to be great. And in order that the character of the paper in its Norwegian form should be entirely popular, sundry sections or remarks contained in the original edition, were omitted, which might be assumed to have interest for specialists rather than for general readers.
Examples of all the species of birds treated of, may be found set up in the Christiania University Zoological Museum, the greater number of them collected in the very regions, whose nature is here sketched from observations during seven summers" wanderings in those parts of the country.
