Abstract
THE little northern town of Bergen, sea-port, fishing-haven, market town, has done more for science in the last two or three generations than many—not to say most—university towns. Its Museum, famous both on its zoological and its archæological sides, is the focus of a number of institutions, libraries, museums, and laboratories, which form among them a real academic community. Prof. Kolderup, the mineralogist, is the present director of the Museum, with such men as Prof. Brinkmann and Mr. James Grieg to help him on one side, and Prof. Haakon Shetelig (a well-known authority on Runic inscriptions) on the other.
