Valuable contributions to our knowledge of the position and development of
agriculture have, especially of låte years, been made by such works as: "The
Academy of Agriculture 1813—1912, and Swedish Agricultural Economics during
the 19th century", by H. Juhlin-Dannfelt: "The Ultuna Agricultural High School,
1848—98", by the same writer; "The Alnarp Agricultural High School, 1862—
1912", by H. L. 0. Winberg (b. 1844); "The Agricultural Society of Örebro Län,
1803—1903", by J. V. Jonsson (b. 1852); "The Agricultural Society of
Värmland Län, 1803—1903", by Th. Andersson (b. 1869); "The Agricultural Society
of Skaraborg Län, 1807—1907", by R. Kjellén (b. 1864); "The Agricultural
Society of Kalmar Län South, 1811—1911", by E. Hilldoff; "The Agricultural
Society of Halland Län, 1812—1912", "The Agricultural Society of Älvsborg
Län, 1812—1912", by O. Mannerfelt (b. 1852); "The Agricultural Society of
Blekinge Län, 1814—1914", by J. F. Wachtmeister (b. 1867); "The Agricultural
Society of Östergötland Län, 1814—1914", by Ii. Schött (b. 1861); and "The
Agricultural Society of Södermanland Län, 1814—1914", by J. A. Almquist
(b. 1870). In addition we have: "The History of the Geological and Geographical
Development of Skåne", by A. Hennig (b. 1864); "The Breeding of Horned
Cattle in Skåne during the 19th century", by L. Nanneson; "Manuring and
Soil-Improvements in Skåne", by .1. Zachrison (b. 1881); The Agriculture of
Malmöhus Län, 1909", by G. Leufvén (b. 1870).
In addition, during 1914, there have been issued, as usual by the Central
Establishment for Agricultural Experiments and by the other Swedish scientific
institutions in the domain of Agriculture, their "Meddelanden" (Returns)
concerning the results of the experiments they have carried out during the year.
Among the periodical literature dealing with Swedish agriculture, mention
must be made — in addition to the "Transactions and Journal of the Academy
of Agriculture", and the other journals etc., spoken of above — of "The Farmers’
Journal" (Tidskrift för Lantmän), issued since 1880 by H. L. O. Winberg
(b. 1844) — formerly Principal and head master of the Alnarp High School of
Agriculture — in conjunction first with N. Engström and then with .1/. Weibull,
both teachers at the same institute; of "The Farmer" (Lantmannen), issued since
1889 by TF. Flach (b. 1857) — now the President of the Royal Board of
Agriculture — aided by H. Juhlin-Dannfelt, E. Insulander (b. 1871) and, later on,
by Nils Hansson and A. Sjöström, in addition to which, a fairly large number
of farming newspapers, written in a more popular style, have begun to be
issued.
Zoology.
Olof Rudbeck the elder (1630—1702) was the first Swedish scientist to make
independent scientfic researches of any consequence, in the field of Zoology.
The most important result of his work in this line was the discovery of the
lymphatic ducts. He was likewise the first to found in Sweden an anatomical
and zoological museum. However, it was the son, Olof Rudbeck the younger
(1660—1740), who, like the father, was professor in Uppsala University, that
was the real founder of zoology properly so called, in Sweden. Linnaeus (1707
—78) gave a fresh direction to zoology as well as to botany. His reform of
the terminology in particular was of supreme importance for the further
development of the science. Regarded from the zoological point of view, the
Sy-stema Naturae was the most important of his numerous works; but his Fauna
Svecica and his accounts of his travels in different parts of Sweden are of great
value for zoology. — The most notable Swedish zoologists of Linnaeus’
generation were the ichthyologist P. Artedi (1705—35), and the entomologist K. De Geer
(1720—78).
