 and invented the nomenclature which is still

 and genera, and pointed out the true characters 

 on which these groups should be established. 

 John Christian Daniel Schreber, Professor of 

 Natural History at Erlangen; John Christian 

 Fabricius, the celebrated Entomologist ; Peter 

 Kalm, whose travels into North America con- 

 tain many valuable accessions to Natural His- 

 tory in general, and were translated by the 

 celebrated Forster, were among his pupils. 

 Frederic Hasselquist, a truly meritorious tra- 

 veller, who brought a vast collection of pre- 

 served animals, cfc, from the East, and died in 

 the thirtieth year of his age, after rendering 

 considerable service to science, was another. 

 So also were Osbeck, the celebrated Sparrman, 

 Rolander, Falk, whose travels contain much 

 that is interesting to Natural History ; A. R. 

 Martin, and Solander, a name so well known in 

 this country; and many more, whose names alone 

 our limits will not even permit us to mention.
