should condescend to use his Names at all whether in his 

 own sense or in any other. 



This is what Fabricius says, enumerating those authors 

 who had in various ways contributed to the progress of 

 Entomology, and whose works he advises the " Lector 

 Benevolus " to make use of until (as he amiably puts it) 

 others produce better ones. 



" Auctores hujus classis numerosi. 



" Scientiae heroes systema condunt et characteribus certis 

 bene elaboratis firmant. Linne, Latreille, et forte Jurine." 



Then he goes on to enumerate lower orders of workers 

 such as Ichniographi (here including Panzer), Descriptores, 

 Observatores, Monographi, etc. But these do not now 

 concern us. The point to be noted is that Fabricius him- 

 self, who of all men must have been most tempted to 

 belittle Jurine, had the grace to acknowledge his rival's 

 architectonic genius, and to rank him even hypothetically 

 on a level with Linne and Latreille. 



Appendix A. Jurine and Panzer. 



The following Plates, or descriptions, of Fn. Ins. Germ. 

 may be apphed to for information as to the relations 

 between Panzer and Jurine in certain years — 



1799. Heft 62. Plates 6, 7, 8, 10, 13, U, 18, 19. 



besides others which we may have failed to notice. The 

 great falling-ofE in numbers in the above List after 1801 

 requires explanation. It was probably due to the publica- 

 tion in 1804 of the Piezatorum which recalled Panzer's 

 chief attention to his old master and led, inter alia, to the 

 publication of Krit. Rev. in 1800. 



Appendix B. Jurine and Fabricius. 



To judge of the real progress m Classification made by 

 Jurine before 1801 we may notice that — 



Fabricius before 1804 had dealt with :— (a) Three (palae- 

 arctic) Genera of Jurine's Ordo I, i. e. Sawflies ; (6) Two of
