»nomen trivialc' is written at the toj) of thc leailet, bnt al- 

 Asays shows, hy its position, its stilc of -writing and the colour 

 of thc iuk, that it is not contcmporaneons with the original 

 rliagnosis and tlie description, hut has been added afterwards 

 and separately. The trivial namcs thus given are, moreover, 

 not always exactly those adopted in 1758 in the Systema Na- 

 tiirse ed. 10; tluis, for instance. in Scarabjeus, olaucus stånds 

 for Herciiles; in Biiprestis, gigas for gigantea, ignea for ignita, 

 punctata for sternicornis, vulnerata for bimaculata; in Grvllus, 

 longispinosus for fastigiatus, liarlechinus for variegatus. They 

 are also often less in accordance with the rules observed there, 

 as Gryllus folium ambulans for siccifolius, folium viride for 

 laiirifolius, alis ocellatis for ocellatus, triocularis for triops, ala 

 nigra for melanopterns, and so ou. — they are to all appea- 

 rancc preliminary and applied by way of trial. Many names, 

 however, are such as werc iinally adopted. 



The species collected by Kalm in Canada and Pennsyl- 

 vania, 1747— ^gj 1751, and those sent from N. Carolina by 

 Gakden, have their separate schcdnles, and also generallv capi- 

 ta! letters and nnmbers. Those collected by Osbeck in his 

 voyage to Spain, the East Indics and China, from 1750 to 

 -^'g 1752, have cach found a place npon the back of some 

 leailet already the bearer of an allied species, and are without 

 Capital letters and numbers. Tliev have evidentlv arrived just 

 as the manuscript was llnisliing. Those species, on the con- 

 trary, that had been collected in the East by Ha.sselqvist, 

 and added to the Uueen's cabinet in 1754, are missino- throueh- 

 out, and make their iirst appearance 1758, in the S. X. ed. 10, 

 while tViose presented by Tulbagii in 1763 are, of course, found 

 only in the M. L. U. of 1764 and the S. N. ed. 12 of 1767. 

 One species alone, sent bv GouAN in 1758 or låter, has a sche- 

 dule for itself, in the hand-writing, exceptionally legiblc, oi' 

 LiNN.EUS himself. It bears at thc top the number 402 whicli 

 is that of its pagc in the {)rinted book, as if thus marked for 

 immediatc copying and insertion into the proof-sheet. 



The (lencra are no other than those of thc so-called sixth, 

 properly the tliird. edition of the S. N., 1748. Thus tlic future 

 Hister still goes under Scarab?eus, Silpha under Dermestes, 

 Fulgora, the Laternaria of the M. L. U., under Cicada, Sphex 

 under Ichneumon, Vespa under Apis, Sphinx imder Phalfena.
