Dr, Arzexius’s Obfervations on the Genus Paufus. 245 
Fuefsly, without taking notice of what Thunberg had written on 
the fubjeét, republifhed Linné’s original account in the 3d number 
of his Archiv der Infectengefcbichte, printed at Zurich 1783. The 
whole defcription, as well as all the figures, are exprefsly copied; but 
the other remarks are tranflated into the German language. 
Gmelin, in his Linnei Syfema Nature of 1788, feems to have con- 
fined himfelf only to the perufal of the text of Fuefsly, tran{cribing 
even his error; which he furely could never have done, had he at 
the fame time confulted the original of Linné. 
Herbft, in his Natur Sy/iem der Infeéten, the 4th part of the Cole- 
optera, publifhed at Berlin 1792, has inferted both Linné’s and 
Thunberg’s fpecies, but tranflated their defcriptions of them into 
German, and given them new {fpecific characters in Latin, though 
not very recommendable for correétnefs either fcientific or typo- 
graphical. To this he has fubjoined a plate, reprefenting, amongft 
many other infects, alfo two figures of P. microcephalus, and two 
of P. /ineatus; the former copied from the differtation of Linné, and 
the latter from Thunberg’s paper in the Tranfaétions of the 
Swedifh Academy of Science. 
Fabricius began in the fame year, or 1792, to publifh at Copen- 
hagen his Entomologia Sy/tematica. Not having before taken notice of 
Paufus in any of his writings, he now introduced it in this work ; not 
however as a diftin& genus, but putting it under his Cerocoma, he 
calls Linné’s infect C. microcepha/a, and the figured one of Thun- 
berg C. /ineataz. The other, or Paufus ruber, he does not men- 
tion at all. , 
An anonymous author, or probably more than one, have laftly 
publifhed at Winterthour in the canton of Zurich, in the year 1794, 
_ aFrench tranflation of Fuefsly, combining all his feparate numbers 
in one continued volume, and calling it rchives de ! Hiftoire des
