The article "De Cetis " includes not only the true Cete but also Pinnipedia, and thepelagic 

 Turtles, as well as the many fabulous monsters of the sea depicted by Olaus Magnus, etc. 



In this work, usually cited as Icon. Anini. Aquat., the text is muc^ reduced from that of 

 the Hist. Animal., 1558, q. v. (from about 80 pp. to 24 pp.), but the cuts are nearly all repro- 

 duced (three or four only are omitted), and others are added, including a larger and much im- 

 proved one of the skull of the Dolphin in place of the former one. In the "Addenda" is a 

 description and figure of a Sperm "Whale stranded June, 1755, on the coast of tlio Adriatic 

 Sea. This is one of the earliest figures of this species, and a better one than some published 

 two centuries later. [17.]
