Uppsala, August 1756, visiting Carl Linnaeus

I inspected Mr. Linnaeus’ collection of minerals, arranged according to his systematic order, in the afternoon, and I found a lot of metal-bearing rocks in it. Later on I looked at some fossils and managed to find Nummum Brattenburgensem, which has an image of a skull.
