Fab.— Fabricius (J. C.), a pupil 
of Linnaeus, Professor of Natural 
History and Rural Economy at Kiel, 
born at Tundern, in the Duchy of 
Sleswick in 1742, died 1807. He 
published a great many works on 
Entomology, of which I have par- 
ticularly quoted the following.

This work contains several of his 
anterior ones, revised and re-modelled, 
such as the “ Systema Entomologise,” 
1 vol. 8vo. ; “ Species Insectorum,” 
2 vols. 8vo. ; “ Mantissa Insectorum,” 
2 vols. 8vo.

“ Fauna Groenlandica,” &c. 1 vol. 8vo. 
Copenhagen and Leipsic, 1790, a 
work of great value, on account of the

History of Copenhagen.

fessor of Botany at Petersburg,

His travels were published in German,
