168 The Floral King.

Science, were sent out all over the world, six
perished on their perilous journeys, as martyrs to the
sacred cause, while the other six were fortunate
enough to return with rich collections of the natural
treasures, strewn all over the world by a bounteous
Creator. Those who returned, and whose names
live in conjunction with their more famous teacher,
were Kalm, Rolander, Torén, Osbeck, Sparman,
and Thunberg, whilst those that perished in
the cause, but whose natural collections in most
instances reached Linnzus, were Ternstrém, died
1745 at Polo Candor, one of a group of islands near
Cambodscha; Hasselqvist, died 1752 at Bagda, near
Smyrna; Léfling, died 1756 in South America;
Forskal, died 1763 in Arabia; Falk, died 1774 in
Kasan, Russia, and J. J. Bjérnstahl, died 1779 in
Salonica, Macedonia.
