Carl Sahlberg was born at Eura, Finland, on January 22, 1779. He entered the Academy in Turku in 1795, and in 1802 obtained the degree of “magister,” followed by being appointed the docent of natural history in 1804. In 1810 he obtained a medical license. In 1816 he was named the professor of natural history and economy. After a devastating fire, the University was transferred to Helsinki, and in 1828 he was named professor of zoology and botany. He retired in 1841. Sahlberg did not publish extensively, though the two-volume series “Dissertatio entomologica Fennica enumerans” is noteworthy. He died on October 18, 1860, at Uusinkartano, Finland.
