BIBLIOGRAPHY OF FISHES 



265 



This work is in two parts; the title-page of the 

 first part is undated, and that of the second part, 

 dated 1650, reads: 



Historiffi naturalis de exsanguibiis aquaticis 

 libri IV, cum figuris aeneis Francofurti-ad-Mce- 

 num, 1650. 



The two parts of this work were republished 

 under a new title at Amsterdam in 1657. There 

 are also other eds. of 1665, 1677, & 1718. Tliis 

 last appears under a new title quoted later. 



According to Agassiz, Jonston's previously 

 published works on quadrupeds, birds, _ fishes, 

 and insects, were united and published in folio 

 under the following title and in various editions 

 as indicated in footnote. 



Historia natiiralis animalium. 



Francofurti, 1650. figs. fol. 



Pre-Linn. 1650.1 



Other eds. are: Frankfort, 1653 & 1662; Am- 

 sterdam, 1657, & 1678 (English).

This work is a reprint of the author s Histo- 

 ria naturalis de piscibus et cetis " (1649), to- 

 gether with other writings by him and by Fred- 

 eric Henri Ruvsch, M. D. This edition of the 

 "Theatrum" is often cited in bibliographies 

 under the name of Ruyscih alone, leading to much 

 confusion. See Ruysch, F. H. Pre-I,inn. 1718.1 

 Other eds. of the Theatrum are: Heilbronn, 

 1755-57; Rouen, 1768. 



This writer, of a family originally Scotch, was 

 born at Lessno or Lessa, in Posen. His great serv- 

 ice was in bringing together into one work the 

 scattered observations of the many writers on 

 ichthyology who had preceded him. Most ot 

 his data and figures are copied from Belon, 

 Rondelet, Gesner, Glaus Magnus, Schonevelde, 

 Marcgrave, and others. His books enjoyed 

 great popularity and were many times repub- 

 lished in parts or in whole, in the original Jjatin 

 or in translation. The various editions are with 

 much difficulty set in order bibhographically. 



The order above is approximately correct only. 

 An absolutely correct bibliography of Jonston 

 can only be made from the books themselves. 



Jorath or Jorach [12th cent.) De 

 animahbus. MS. 



The natural history work by this 12th cen- 

 tury oriental, perhaps Syrian writer, no longer 

 extant, is frequently quoted by Albertus Mag- 

 nus, Vincent de Beauvais, Konrad of Megen- 

 berg and Bartholomew Anglicus. 



The identity of the author is uncertain. M. 

 Stcinsclineider (M6m. Acad. Imp. Sci. St. 

 Petersb., 1869, 3. ser. 13, 128) suggests tenta- 

 tively that "Jorath Chaldfieus," as he is called 

 by Bartholomew, may be the same as "Phoron 

 Chaldeus."
