Gerardum Leonardi Blafium] 

 The edition of 1661 here and in § 13 

 [p. 23 in the present Edition] has in» 

 stead of Gerardum: Johannem, which 

 was the name of Blaes' younger bro» 

 ther [see note to I p. 4. 1. 15 from top]. 

 This mistake, as being indicative of 

 Steno's unreliableness, was much dwelt 

 upon by Blaes in a long letter to Tho= 

 mas Bartholin, dated Amsterdam July 

 16, 1661. See Epist. Medicin. Cent. III. 

 Hafnice 1667. Epist. XLIII p. 164. The 

 edition of 1680, which appeared after 

 Steno's having given up scientific stu» 

 dies altogether, has once more the wrong 

 name instead of the right one in the 

 same two places.
