In 1 77 1 was publifhed Linn^us's lafl work, 

 being the continuation of the Mantiffa^ in which the 

 work is carried on to 588 pages, under the title of 

 Mantissa altera. Near one half of this volume 

 comprehends additional new genera and fpecies^ and 

 the remaining part a variety of emendations, with 

 fome confiderable augmentation to the animal 

 kingdom. Thefe will greatly enrich a future 

 edition of his works \ and in the preface he has 

 earnefcly intreated fucceeding editors to pay a pro- 

 per regard to them. 



Befides his feparate works, which we have now 

 broup*ht to a conciufion, Limn^us wrote a preat 

 number of papers on the fubjeds of phyfic and 

 natural hiftory, which were publifhed in the A&a 

 Literaria Upfalienfia^ and in the Stockholm A5ls. 

 The finr of thefe works was begun by Olaus 

 Celfius in 1720, and continued to the year 1750, 

 and is in Latin, in 5 volumes, quarto. The lat- 

 ter publication is in the Swedijlj language, in the 

 odiavo form, and has been continued ever fince 

 the eftablilhment of the academy at Stockholm^ in 

 17^:59, by Vmg Adolphus. Many of thefe papers 

 are fuperfeded by the fubfequent works of our 

 author, neither would it be within our plan to 

 give a particular detail of them : we are therefore 

 only to fubjoin a catalogue of thefe detached 

 pieces, and regret that it is not in our power to 

 make it more complete or to add fuch, if there 

 be any, as may have been given by Linn^^us to 

 foreign academies.
