Copy of the special engraved title-page to the 

 plates of Willughby's great work. It is dated 

 and the plates were presumably published in 

 1685, one year earlier than the text. This is 

 often cited as a separate work and is so listed.

 bus in genere agitur, sed & species

Dedicated to Samuel Pepys, and published 

 at the expense of Bishop Fell and tne Royal

 editor, John Ray, were among the original fel- 

 lows. 



Reviewed anonymously in Phil. Trans. Roy. 

 Soc, 1686, IB, 1301-1308. 



2nd ed., London, 1743. fol. 



One hundred years later the plates in the 

 above were reproduced as follows: 



I (-X) Tabula . . . Pisces ex Raii emen- 

 data ichthyologia Willughbeii forma minori de- 

 scripti, etc. Augusta Vindelicorum [Augsburg], 

 1786. obi. fol. 



"The engraved title-page to the plates of 

 Willughby's Historia Piscium is reproduced in 

 miniature with the legend altered to read 'F.

 cognovit, coaptavit, supplevit J. Ray _. . . 1686.

"Willughby was the most accomplished zo- 

 ologist of this or any other country, for all the 

 honour that has been given to Ray, as far as it 

 concerns systematic zoology, belongs exclusively 

 to him. He alone is the author of that system 

 which both Ray and Linnaeus took for their 

 guide, which was not improved by the former or 

 confessed by the latter." Swainson.
