[This edition is recognized by Linné as the 9th, and said to have been edited by Gronovius, and to be the 
same as the Gth, with very few additions respecting the birds and fishes. (“Per Gronovium. Paucissima de 
Avibus, Piscibus, idem cum 6.”’)]}

{In this edition, the binomial system previously employed by him in the work entitled Museum Tessinianum 
(1753), was extended in its application to all the kingdoms of nature; the Artedian classification of fishes, 
adopted in the earlier editions, was superseded by the familiar Linnwan system, and the cetaceaus were for tho 
first time eliminated from the class of fishes and grouped with the viviparous quadrupeds under the new class 
name Mammalia. This edition was reproduced at Halle (Halwa Magdebyrgica, typis et symptibus Io. Tac. Cvrt. 
1760), in an exact reprint (Prafatys est Ioaanes Ioachimys Langivs), in 1760, bat has not been acknowledged as 
one of the so-called editions. The recognized 11th edition was published at Leipzig in 1762, and is also a reprint 
of the 10th, but was condemned by Linné (“‘Furtim prodiit vitiosa. Nil additum ”).]

[The last edition published by Linné, which is taken by some naturalists as the starting-point of tenable bino- 
mial nomenclature, while many prefer to go back to the 10th ed. of 1758. 
In conclusion, it may be said that the original editions recognized by Linné as completely rovised ones were 
the 1st (1735), the 2d (1740), the 6th (1748), the 10th (L752), and the 12th (1766-68).
