[In this edition, the binomial system previously employed by him in the work entitled Museum Tessinianum 

 (1753), was extended in its application to all the kingdoms of nature; the Artodian classification of fishes, 

 adopted in the earlier editions, was superseded by the familiar Liuneean system, and the cetaceans were for the 

 first time eliminated from the class of fishes and grouped with the vivrp.arous quadrupeds nnder the new class 

 name Mammalia. This edition was reproduced at Hallo (Halte Magdebvrgicie, typis et svmptibus lo. lac. Cvrt. 

 1760), in an exact reprint (Praifatvs est loannos loachimvs Langivs), in 1760, but has not been acknowledged as 

 one of the so-called editions. The recognized llth edition was published at Leipzig in 176-2, and is also a reprint 

 of the lOlh, but was condemned by Linn6 (" Furtitn prodiit vitiosa. Nil additnm "),]

[The last edition published by Linn6, which is t.aken by some naturalists .-vs the starting point of tenable bino- 

 mial nomenclature, while many prefer to go back to the lOth ed. of 175H.

 the 1st (17.3.i), the 3d (1740), the Glh (1748), the lOth (175rt), .ind the 12th (1766-OS).
