Notes
Descriptions attributed by Brander to Daniel Charles Solander, one of the officers of the British Museum, on page v.
The section on "Characteres generum" (pages [1]-8, 3rd group) is organized according to the Systema naturae of Linné, according to the footnote on page [1] (3rd group).
In some copies, the final leaf of text (M2) is a cancellans: the cancellans leaf begins: Fig. 122. 123; the cancellandum leaf begins: Fig. 121.
The English short title catalogue gives the date of publication for this edition in brackets as 1765, but does not explain the reason why. The title page and the introduction (page vi) are both dated 1766.
The plates are signed: Green delin. et sculp.
The engraved vignette on the title page is signed: P. Mazell delin. & sculp.
The final page is blank.
The plates are accompanied by blank tissue guard sheets.
Signatures: [A]⁴ B-M².
Contents: Preface -- Characteres generum -- Descriptiones specierum.
