undoubtedly the germ of that revolution in ento- 
mology subsequently effected by Latreille*, whose 
Jabours in this department are immense. Geoffroy 
St. Hilaire, and the two Cuviers+, prosecuted the 
study of Quadrupeds in France, while Illiger { was 
doing the same in Prussia. The exquisite and 
elaborate works of Poli§ on the comparative anatomy 
of the Mollusca, is alone sufficient to immortalise a 
name; and this unrivalled publication led the way for 
the valuable memoirs on the same class by Cuvier, 
which were subsequently collected into a volume. || 
Lamarck, well characterised as the mostaccomplished 
zoologist of this era, took up the whole of the in-
