RISE AND FROGRESS OF ZOOLOGY. 57 
publication upon the Lepzdoptera, inferior, indeed, 
to that of Harris in execution, but much more 
comprehensive, was commenced,” in 1779, by Cra- 
mer *, and terminated by Stoll; comprising, upon 
442 plates, the largest collection we possess of 
coloured figures of the exotic Lepidoptera: the fifth 
volume is entirely by Stoll}, and is enriched with 
numerous representations of larve and pupz, drawn 
in Surinam. Although these figures are indifferently 
drawn and coarsely coloured, yet they are never- 
theless sufficiently accurate to render this work of 
much value. 
(25.) Leaving entomology for the present, let us 
trace the progress of the Linnzan school in other de- 
partments. The work upon quadrupeds, by Schreber, 
commenced in 1775, is of little value; most of the 
plates being copies, and inaccurately coloured. But 
in 1776, the most celebrated of all the disciples of 
Linneus, Professor Pallas, began to publish his 
various essays and dissertations on almost every 
branch of zoology.{ The commencement of his
