RISE AND PROGRESS OF ZOOLOGY. 57 



publication upon the Lepidoptera, 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 f, and is enriched with 

 numerous representations of larvae and pupae, 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 Linnaean 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 

 Linnaeus, Professor Pallas, began to publish his 

 various essays and dissertations on almost every 

 branch of zoology. J The commencement of his 



Aurelian. London, no date : but at the corner of the 2d and 

 6th plates is inscribed, " M. Harris del. et sculp. Oct. 20. 

 1767." — An Exposition of English Insects. London, 1782. 

 1 vol. 4to. — The English Lepidoptera ; or, the Aurelian's 

 Pocket Companion, &c. London, 1775. 8vo.
