This third Latin edition (see SCILLA, at 1670, 1749, and 1752) seems to be textually the same 



as the first and second, with modifications of title-page and accessories. The matter relating 



to the Squalodont remains occurs at p. 54 ; the plates are identical with those of the earlier 



. editions. [280.]

The title-pages of the two volumes differ only in respect to the matter detailing the con- 

 tents of the volumes. There appears to have been an earlier [1755] edition, from which this 

 seems to be not textually different. 



A digression concerning whaling, vol . i. pp. 56-G1. Ambergris and spermaceti are described ; 

 eight different kinds of "Whales are briefly described, with some account of the products of 

 each of the habits of Whales, and of whaling. 



A digression concerning fisheries, ibid., pp. 294-304. I. Whales, pp. 296-298. This gives 

 an account of the Xew England Whale-fishery as it existed in 1748, with remarks on the 

 habits of the Whales pursued, and is of especial importance. [281.]
