Regarding Piso's alleged plagiarism from 

 Marcgrave, Cuvier and Valenciennes speak as 

 follows: "On ne voit pas comment quelques 

 ^crivains ont pu accuser Pison d'etre plagiare 

 de Margrave; il lui rend, au contraire, partout 

 justice dans ses deux Editions." 



For a full discussion of the question of the 

 relations between Piso and Marcgrave, and of 

 the matter of plagiarism, see the article by 

 Gudger referred to. See also note under Marc- 

 grave, this section.
