" The ' Genera Piscium ' was well edited by 

 Walbaum ... He gave the text as it was left 

 by Linnaeus, and indicated the original pages 

 by marginal numbers. He brought the work 

 up to date by additions given in footnotes, 

 which consequently greatly added to the vol- 

 ume." T. N. Gill, Science, 1903, n. s. 17, 745. 



Dr. Gill also remarks of this work : " The com- 

 pilation has some value, not only on account of 

 the original descriptions of species copied from 

 previous authors, but because of the repro- 

 ductions of the descriptions of the new genera 

 introduced by various authors into the system. 

 It is also of interest to the student of American 

 species by reason of the incorporation therein, 

 under specific names, of anonymous American 

 species described by Schoepf." Smithson. 

 Misc. Coll. 1872 (1874), 11, no. 247, p. 38. 



The editions of Artedi by Linnaeus (1738) 

 and J. G. Schneider (1789) are referred to under 

 the names of the editors.
