 In the Myriapodes tbe geuera are Aselliis, Oyamus, Oniscus, Julus, Scolopendra. The second 



of these is thus described : — 

 "*GYAME. Cyamus. Onisms, Iauti. Yah. Squilla, Gie. 

 " Quatre autennes trfes-oourtes ; anti^rieures coniques, de quatre articles, dont le dernier fort

 The genera called in French Carciii, Entomon, and Cyame are marked each with an asterisk to 



show that they are new, instituted by Latreille himself. The first two have not maintained 



their ground against earlier designations.

Epitome Entomologije Fabricianse sive Nomenclator Entomologicus emendatus 

 sistens Fabriciani systematis cum Linneano comparationem adjectis cbaracteribus 

 ordinum et generum, speciebus novis aliorum eutomologorum, insectorum liabita- 

 tionibus, nominibus Germanorum Francoe-allorum Anglorum. Cum indicibus et 

 Bibliotheca Fabriciaua. Lipsife, 1797. 



This work refers to another apparently of the same character, entitled " Nomenclator entomo- 

 logicus secundum entomologiam systematicam ill. Fabricii. Conscriptus a Friderico AVebero. 

 Chilonii et Hamburgi. 1795." Among other derivations it gives, together with the 

 definitions, for Synistata, "palpi quatuor maxilla connata cum labio. Kieferlijypen a cnvLo-njiJLt.," 

 to unite ; for Jlitosata, "palpi duo, maxilla filiformis membranacea, Fadenmduler a fniTos," 

 a thread ; for Unogata, " palpi duo porrecti, maxilla cornea unguiculata, Haalcenmauler ab 

 ovd|," a nail; and for Agonata "palpi ssepius sex, maxilla omnino nulla. Kinnlose ab 

 dyoi'aros," which properly means without a knee or without joints, but is here seemingly 

 taken to mean without a jaw, as though from ycvEtov instead of ydio;. 



Among the Agonata are given Astacus liomari on page 117, Cymothoa ceti on page 119, and on 

 the same page a list of the species of Gammarus in accordance with the Ent. Syst. emend, 

 et auot., of 1793. In another list, among the "Agonata sec. Daldorfium," on page 125, 

 " G. Homari (Ast. F.)" is added to the previous catalogue of Gammari. 



1797. CuviER, Georges (alias Leopold-Chr:6tien-Frederic-Dagobert), Baron, born 

 1769, died 1832 (Encycl. Brit. 9th Ed.).
