 defcriptio. Vol. XXXI. 1770. p. 2 85. A Peru-

It has been before itientioned, that our authot 

 has interfperfed, in the Flora Lapponica^ a great 

 variety of curious particulars, relating to the 

 country, and its inhabitants, their marirlers, their 

 economy, difeafes, &c. : and in the preface he 

 tells us, that he had it in meditation to give the 

 remaining part of the natural hiftory. This was 

 to have appeared under the title of Lachejis Lappa-- 

 nica ; but it is with great regret that we mufl now 

 give up the expectation of this work. Mr. Pen^ 

 nant has informed us, that he once reminded him 

 of it, and received for anfwer, — nunc Jtimis fera 

 inciperem: 



Me quoque dehilitat feries immenfa Idhorum^ 



Ante meum tempus cogor et ejfe fenex, 

 Firma fit ilia licet^ folvetur in ^squore navis^ 

 nimquam liquidis ficca careUt aquis. 



We know not of any other publication of 

 LtNNi^us's after xht Mantijfa altera^ in 1771 ; and 

 indeed, the preface to that work is fuilicient to 

 preclude the expedation of any new performance, 

 if his advanced age had not, of itfelf, rendered 

 it fufficiently improbable after that period*
