The Aptera are the seventh order with the same genera as heretofore. Cancer is thus defined

The original Dutch and Latin editions do not seem to differ from my own copy, which is a " new- 

 Dutch edition," published at Utrecht without date, and of which E. T. Maitland, in 1876, 

 observes that it is " volkomen denzelfden druk als de oorspronkelijke uitgave van 1762 

 aUeen met gewijzigden titel." In the first section of the first volume, pp. 37, 50, pi. iv. 

 fig. 2, A, B, c, Baster describes and figures "a curious little animal found on Zee-mos" 

 " mirum animalculum in coraUinis," which Eoeck thinks is without doubt the male of 

 Linnajus's Caprella linearis. Mayer does not feel so sure of this, for Linnaeus himself, Syst.
