Gardner : Rise of the Literature of Entomology. 5 



naturalist, Pierre Belon, who published a book at Paris a.d. 1554, 

 On many singularities and notable things found in Greece"'*; and, 

 three years afterguards, a volume — " Portraits of Animals and Birds 

 of Arabia and Egypt," ^ — both of which describe the most remark- 

 able insects of the countries of which they respectively treat. Gesner 

 has been called the " compiler," and Belon the " observer " of nature ; 

 the latter certainly, by his laborious research, made many additions 

 to Zoology. He went on an expedition to the Levant, on purpose to 

 collect specimens there.
