#### Note
Forsander, and not Petrus Meurling, should be considered the author of a thesis that was attributed earlier to Meurling (TL-2/3, nr. 5893); the earlier entry can be amended as follows:
*De vegetatione Scaniae dissertatio*... Quam Venis Ampl. Fac. Phil. Lund. publice examinandum proponunt... In Academia Carolina d. xix Dec. MDCCCXX... Lundae (Ex Officina Berlingiana) 1820. Qu. (*Veg. Scan.*).
*Co-author*: Meurling, Petrus (fl. 1820), Swedish physician.
*Publ*.: 19 Dec 1820 (date of dissertation defense), p. \[1\]-16. *Copies*: B-S, BM (n.v.), G(2), NY (n.v.).
*Note*: Swedish univ. regulations require dissertations to be available three weeks before the defense.
#### Composite works
Forsander is listed as the defendant in the first of 16 theses published by C.A. Agardh, *Aphor. bot.*...1817\[-1826\], see TL-2/1, nr. 39.
