The fubjed of this paper is ftridly zoological ? 

 It contains a particular defcription of 65 of the 

 rarer kinds of animals, which v/ere prefented to the 

 mufeum of the univerfity by the late King Adolphus 

 of Sweden^ at that time hereditary prince. Thefe 

 defcriptions being drawn up with fufficient accu- 

 racy, and regard to the rules of the Limaan fyf- 

 tem, and referred to in the fubfequent zoology of 

 LiNNiSus, yet retain their value. Amphibia^ and 

 Fifhes, form the greater part of this colledion : 

 among the former we mention particularly an ex- 

 cellent defcription of the Chameleon, (Lacerta 

 Cham^Ieon^Sy^t. 346.) ; of xh^ AmphiJbcenaFuliginofa^ 

 Syft.392 ; of the Crotalus Horridus^ or Rattle Snake : 

 and among the latter, of the Torpedo^ which has 

 fo lately excited anew the attention of eledlricians, 

 as alfo of that remarkable fifh called Soldigo by the 

 Portiiguefe (Sihirus Callichthys^ Syft. 506.) which 

 Marcgrave and Fifo fay will travel in dry feafons 

 acrofs the land from rivulet to rivulet in queft of 

 water. Two copper-plates accompany this tradt.
