Works
Among his writings are labeled primarily a series of works of vortex worms (turbellarier) who study uber Polycladen (1913), Boninia (1923), among others. He introduced the physiology as a subject at the zoological teaching Uppsala. Bock attended the 1908 Spitsbergen Expedition and undertook research trips to Japan and Ogasawara archipelago in 1914 and 1917-18 to the Pacific Islands, and resulted in large collections from these journeys. These collections of objects and photography collections found at the Museum of Ethnography in Stockholm.

Biography B. has such collector and explorer developed great diligence and energy. His two trips to Japan and the Pacific have left rich results. During the last he visited in March 1914 Kobe and Shimonoseki, came in May guarding singer Hayatori maru on voyages along the Kiu-Shiu's southern and western coasts, dwelt in April and July, and during part of September. to that of the surrounding sea of strange animal shapes rich fauna famous zoological station in Misaki and carried out from 16 July to 5 September. an excursion to the result so far in zoological terms almost unknown Boninöarna whose marine littoral fauna was investigated. The latter trip went across Siberia to Japan and from there to Australia -Samoa-Tongo-Fiji-Australia-Solomons-Gilbert and Elliceöarna-Bismarck Archipelago-N. Zealand-Cook Islands -Tahiti and homes across America. The longest break was made at Gilbert and Elliceöarna whose marine littoral fauna was investigated by B., while his aides, Associate Professor Ch. Hessle, similarly studied Marshall Islands and Caroline Islands. Everywhere was important observations and exceedingly rich collections. Among other things, found B. during the first trip the numerous extremely interesting, before completely incompletely known and initially though unjustly as a transitional form of flat worms reputable comb jelly Coeloplana and got to know its whereabouts and ways of life. B's collections, most of which from Boninöarna with numerous previously unknown species are scientifically important, have largely been incorporated into the Uppsala University Zoological Museum, some parts of the national museum and the Gothenburg Museum. In a small treatise "Zur Kenntnis von Nectonema und Dessen systematischer stiff lung" (Zoological contribution from Upsala, Bd 2, 1913) has B. have described an in Spitsbergen expedition found fragments of an animal form, belonging to one of the few, very rare and only incompletely known marine representatives of the province Nematomorpha, which he considers to stand closest to the nematodes. Otherwise, move the B's studies, whose results published so far, only about polycladerna. In gradualdisputationen, "The study über Polycladen" (cited Publication, 1913), have completed Arnold B. Lang's famous polycladforskningar, left anatomically-histological descriptions of a large number of hitherto unknown or incompletely known forms and by the acotyla polycladernas division into three sections, Craspedommata, Schematommata and Emprosthommata in one important respect developed Langs system. Later, B. submitted several new contributions to the knowledge of the same group of animals in »Polycladen aus Juan Fernandez» (C. Skottsberg, The Natural History of Juan Fernandez and Easter Island, 3, 1920); »Boninia, a new Polyclad gender from the Pacific" (Nova Acta Scientiarum Regise societatis Upsaliensis, (IV), 6, 1923); »Eine neue marine Turbellariengattung aus Japan" (Uppsala University yearbook, 1923); »Two New acotylean Polyclads from Japan" (Academy of Sciences Archive of zoology, Bd 15, No. 17, 1923); »Eine neue Stylochoplana aus Japan" (därsammastädes, Bd 16, No. 7, 1924). B., however, has also collected a large amount of material for studies of Nemerteans, and processing of the large German Väldiviaexpeditionens and German sydpolarexpeditionens collections of nemertiner have entrusted to him. B's last two trips to Germany and Copenhagen were intended to study the teaching of physiology at certain zoological institutions. After returning home from the last of these began B. give a course for zoologists in comparative physiology lectures and laboratory exercises, the first instruction of this kind, given in Uppsala, where the subject of very great interest. In connection with this, in the zoological department instituted a physiological laboratory, vilkets organization primarily incumbent on B.
