XVI PREFACE. 



The notes are entirely supplied by the 

 editor. Every name or remark that he 

 has added to the text, is scrupulously 

 inserted between crotchets ; nor is there, 

 throughout the whole, any one passage 

 or word of the original author's so in- 

 closed. 



The " Brief Narrative,'' subjoined to 

 the Journal, having been drawn up by 

 Linnaeus himself, to lay before the Aca- 

 demy of Sciences at Upsal, could not 

 with propriety be omitted. Part of it 

 throws great light on the body of the 

 work ; and though there are some repe- 

 titions, there is little that can be thought 

 superfluous.
