 nica] xxvii, [1,] 108 pp., tab.] 



This is said, by Linne, to have been edited by B. Jussieu, and to be the same as the 

 second edition ("per B. Jussienm. Adjecta nornina Gallica. idem cum 2"). It con- 

 tains however, in addition to the "Fundamenta Botauica," a special introduction 

 (by himself), which concludes with the remark that it is the fourth edition, revised 

 and enlarged (Jam quartam castigatam iterum auctamque Lectori offero Benevolo. — 

 p. 3). 



238 nominal species of Fishes are enumerated under 4S genera (S5 to 129), in ad- 

 dition to the Cetaceans (8 species under 5 genera). 



In this edition (and certainly not in the second, as stated by Cuvier), the rays in 

 the fins were also first given for each species.

281 nominal species'of Fishes are enumerated, representing 47 genera (102 to 14S), 

 and 12 Plagiuri (Cete) representing 6 genera. 



The seventh edition, published at Leipzig (Lipsiae) in 1748, is a textual reprint of 

 the sixth (Secundum sextam Stockholmiensem emendatam & auctam editionem), by 

 the same publisher, but with the German popular names instead of Swedish. 



The eighth edition contains the Vegetable Kingdom only.

This edition is recognized by Linne as the ninth, and said to have been edited by 

 Gronovius, and to be the same as the sixth, with very few additions respecting the 

 Birds and Fishes. ("Per Gronovium. Paucissima de Avibus, Piscibus, idem cum 

 6.") There is, however, a special address to the reader ("Lectori ") from the author, 

 in which he acknowledges to have followed the system introduced by Gronovius in 

 the " Museum Ichthyologicum," the first volume of which appeared in 1754 (" Icthyo- 

 logiam vero secundum Membranas Branchiostegas & pinnarum radios compendiose 

 tali ordine proposui quali exstat in Gronovii Museo Ichthyologico, cujus nova detecta 

 Genera hue introduxi"). And on comparison, it is found that the sequence of the 

 genera is altogether different from that in the sixth edition, and essentially similar 

 to the one followed by Gronovius : it differs in the following respects : — the sequence 

 of orders is reversed, and the Plaguri added as the first order; the Chondropterygii 

 different; the sequence in the genera of orders (III) Branchiostegi and (V) Malacop- 

 terygii reversed ; and the following additional genera incorporated, viz: — 113, Gobius 

 and 114, Xiphias between 112, Blennius and 115, Scomber; 113, Ophidion* as the 

 last genus of Acanthopterygii ; 144, Stromateus, in Malacopterygii, between 143, 



* I have demonstrated, in my memoir on the Affinities of several doubtful British Fishes ( <Proc. Acad 

 Nat. Sc, Phila., 1861, p. 198, &c), that Ophidion was originally based on the Gunuell (Ifuraenoides 

 Lac), and that the Ophidium imberbs of Montagu (not Pennant or Lacup^de) is the same specie^.
