E Museo Lundii: En Samling af Afhandlinger om de i det indre Brasiliens Kalkstenshuler af Professor P. V. Lund udgravede Dyre-og Menneskeknogler

Abstract

THIS work, as its title indicates, consists of various monographs, descriptive of the collections made by Dr. Lund in his interesting exploration of the limestone caverns in the interior of Brazil. These important finds are the fruits of nearly ten years' unremitting labour in the neighbourhood of Lagoa Santa, on the Rio das Velhas, in the province of Minas Geraes, where Dr. Lund prosecuted his researches from 1835 to 1844. On the completion of his cave explorations he presented the whole of his incomparable collections to the Danish nation. The gift has been duly appreciated, and now constitutes, under the name of the “Lund Museum,” one of the most important palæontological sections of the Zoological Museum in the University of Copenhagen.
