Johan Ernst Gunnerus sends Linnaeus the following specimens through Maximilian Hell and Jens Finne Borchgrevink, who are leaving for Copenhagen:
A. A thin pellucid Fucus. It is of the same consistency as Gunnerus’s Fucus ovinus in Flora Norvegica, I, of which it might be a variety.
B. A new and better specimen of the Fucus pectinatus that was sent with Christian Horrebow.
C. and D. seem to be one and the same species of Fucus or perhaps rather Conferva.
F. and E. Gunnerus does not know anything about these specimens.
G. is a Mya, possibly Mya arctica.
H. could be Buccinum. It is the same as the one Gunnerus has had illustrated in ”Acta”, IV, [Gunnerus refers to the publications of The Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters, Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskab, Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter] under the false name Turbo clathrus [the description was published in "Om nogle norske coraller"].
Gunnerus has received all these things from Hell and some from Borchgrevink. He has, however, received them so recently that he has not had time to examine them.
P.S. 1. There is a note saying that a blue bag should be forwarded to Johan Hieronymus Chemnitz.
P.S. 2 [by another hand in German] To Pehr Wilhelm Wargentin in Stockholm to be forwarded further.
