Fra ‘In Memoriamn’ i The Auk: “Løppenthin—or “Løpp” as he was usually called—joined the AOU in 1928 and was elected a Corresponding Fellow in 1959. He became a member of the Danish Ornithological Society in 1923, was Editor of its journal, Dansk Ornithologisk Forenings Tidsskrift, from 1931 to 1937, Secretary from 1941 to 1960, and a Board Member from 1931 to 1960. In the meantime, he obtained university degrees in medicine (1929) as well as zoology (1934). He practiced as a physician from 1933 until 1938, when he was employed as a librarian at the Copenhagen University Library, where he stayed until retirement. For the older generation of ornithologists, Løpp was of great importance. He published more than 50 papers on ornithological subjects, mainly in Dansk Ornithologisk Forenings Tidsskrift, where for a generation he also frequently refereed new ornithological literature. Present-day Danish ornithologists know him best as the author of Danske ynglefugle i fortid og nutid (”Danish Breeding Birds: Past and Present,” 1967). Although that book got a somewhat rough reception at the time because of some interpretations for which Løpp stood quite alone, it is full of important precise information about subfossil records and about Danish birdlife before the start of modern agriculture.”
