This is said by Bossoed to be the first and best edition of the work. Other editions ap- 

 peared later: Antwerp, 1558 (Latin) and 15G1 (French); Venice, 1505; Basel, 1567; Amster- 

 dam, 1599 ; Fr.inkl'ort, 1G25 ; Loyden, 1045 ; Amsterdam, 16")2 ; the form varying from 8<^ to foL. 

 and the text modified by abridgment, or amplified by the addition of extraneous matter. I 

 give in/id, from Bosgoed, a collation of the Dutch edition of 1599, q. v. [12. |

Le Seiziemo Livre includes not only the species above named, but also the Sea-Tortoises, 

 and various anthropomorphous marine monsters. The first four books treat of the general 

 economy of "Fishes," including their external and internal anatomy, their habits, f.icultiet', 

 etc., and of modes of capturing them, including the Cctacea pannim. The figures arc tho 

 same as those of the Latin cd. (1554), q. v. The second division of the work contains tho 

 marine Invertebrates, tho fluviatile Fishes, Amphibians, lleptilcs, and Turtles, and also 

 tho Beaver, "le Eieuro." [15.]
