project on Man, Plants and Animals: Eth-
nobiology in Sweden/the Nordic Countries.
Data collection was made possible by a
travel grant from Svensk-Danska Kultur-
fonden, as well as by the hospitality of
Føroya Fornminnissavn, which always pro-
vides me, during my stays in the Faroes,
with a desk and free access to their facili-
ties. Finally, for their comments, I am
grateful to Ms. Osva Olsen (Føroya Forn-
minnissavn, Tórshavn), Dr. Roger Gyllin,
