Bromells coraller till varieteter och beskrifver många nya.» This 

 reads in English as foUows: »I am now working at a Disputation 

 De Coralliis Balthicis witli 30 figures, wherein I arrange most 

 of the corals of Bromell as varieties and describe several new 

 ones.» Moreover, in bis Systema Naturee, Ed. VI p. 76 he 

 refers to the »Corallia baltica» as his own work in saying »Li- 

 thophytorum ordinem disposui .... Vide Dissert. de Coralliis 

 Balthicis p. 8 — 9.» The only part which FouGT took in its 

 publication, was then, that he paid the costs of the printing, 

 both of the letter-press and the plate on which he had drawn 

 the figures. 



The dissertation was reprinted no less than four times and 

 translated once into German and once, in an abridged form, 

 into English. These editions are here enumerated in chronologi- 

 cal sequence. 



1. 1749. In the Amoenitates Academicce, Holmice et Lip- 

 sice apud Godofredum Kiesewetter. Vol. I. The Corallia bal- 

 tica are the fourth treatise and occupy pages 74 — 106. The 

 title is of course much abridged — »Corallia baltica praeside C. 

 Linuseo, proposita ab Henr. Fougt» — and the plate has been 

 engraved anew, having the figures placed in a direction opposite 

 to that of the original plate. The figures, especially xvii and 

 XXI are not so well executed as in the dissertation. There are 

 a few additions to the letter-press as foot-notes. They contain 

 only additional remarks about the nature of the corals and 

 about the formation or origin of calcareous rocks, but do not in 

 any way alter the descriptions, which are copied verbally. This 

 first edition of the Amoenitates was printed in Leipzic, as can 

 easily be seen by the type and as is also expressly stated in 

 the Swedish literary gazette of those times. ^) 



2. 1749. Amoenitates Academicce Lugduni Batavorum ap. 

 Cornelium Haah. Vol. I; edited by Petrus Camper, who does 

 not in his dedication to Collinson with a single word mention 



^) Lärda Tidningar 1751 n:o 91. »Vol. I blef för 2 är sedan upplagd utrikes af 

 Bokhandlaren här i Stockholm Gottfried Kiesewetter.»
