Description

Kärrekusa or Kärringakusan is a spring that Linnaeus described as follows during his voyage to Öland in 1741:

"One marveled, when one
see, how nature plays. We admire the shell, which
called Cunnus marinus and that stone
called Hysterolithus, because both
so accurately depict a birth-lobe to its external parts, that no sculptor
could imitate it better; but the Carrecusa is a far greater wonder.

A spring on the flat
made by nature, with an oblong rima a fathom long
a fathom long, a cubit wide in the middle, drawn together at both ends, 1.½ cubits
deep, slightly convacted on the sides inside.

Under the northern sinus of this rima, more than a fathom's length of hole descends or slopes down to the
the rock with a hollow, in which moisture and water never fail.

May nature better
and more accurately imitate labia valva,
rimam, vagina?

Among all the antras,
which are described, may any be more rare?"
