EEPORT ON THE AMPHIPODA. 11 



1734. Seba, Albert, born 1665, died 1736 (Biographie Universelle). 



Locupletissimi rerum uaturalium Thesauri accurata descriptio, et iconibus 

 artificiosissimis expressio, per universam physices historiam. Opus cui, in hoc 

 rerum genere, nullum par exstitit. Ex toto terrarum orbe coUegit, digessit, 

 descripsit, et depingendum curavit Albertus Seba. Tomus i. Amstelsedami, 



MDCCXXXIV. 



On page 142 he gives Pediculi ceti, Poux de Baleine, with a sailor's story that they slip into the 



ears of the whales and pierce them with their bite. Liitken says that the figures, pi. xc. 

 fig. 5, E, F, G, H, may with tolerable certainty be referred to Cyarnus mysticeti, i.e., to the 

 Cyamus which infests the Nordhval (a whalebone Whale, known in English as the Right- 

 whale, the Greenland Whale, or the Common "Whale), Balema mystieetiis, and that E, F 

 represent a male, G a female, and H a young male. The " quatre pieds au milieu longs 

 et menus " are drawn as if articulated. 



1735. LiNNE, Carl (also Carolus Linnaeus, Carl von Linne, and, in Trapp's translation of 



Stoever's Life, Sir Charles Linnaeus), born 1707, died 1778.

 Lugduni Batavorum, mdccxxxv. 



In the Regnum Animale, the fifth of the six classes is devoted to the Insecta, " Corpus crusta 

 ossea cutis loco tectum. Caput anteuuis instructum." This class includes the Coleoptera, 

 Angioptera, Hemiptera, and Aptera ("alae nullae"). The Aptera contain the divisions or 

 genera, "Pediculus, Pulex, Monoculus, Acarus, Araneus, Cancer {"Pedes 12, priorcs 

 cheliformes "), Ouiscus (" Pedes 14 "), Scolopendria." Cancer contains the species 

 " Cancer, Pagurus, Majas, Gammarus, Astacus, SquiUa, Eremita." Oniscus contains 

 "Asellus Offlcin. Asellus aquat." 



1738. LlNN^US. 



Animalia per Sveciam observata. 



In this work the pages are headed Scient. Svec. A.mdccxxxvi. Among the Aptera under Cancer 

 are given, besides Cancer marinus, Maja, Astacus, Gammarus, four short descriptions of 

 species of Cancer, and the name " Cancellus, Matth. Diosc, 230," corresponding probably to 

 what he elsewhere calls Eremita, Cancellus being Swammerdam's name for Bernard 

 I'Hermite, in 1681.

The Regnum Animale has six classes : Insecta the fifth, " Coi-pus ossibus cutis loco tectum, 

 Cajjut antennis instructum." The Insecta include four orders, the Aptera, "alse nullae," 

 being the fourth. These comprise the genera, " Pediculus, Pulex, Podura, Monoculus, Kermes, 

 Acarus, Aranea, Scorpio, Cancer, Oniscus, Scolopendra." Canceb {'^ Pedes X.; primores
