as the above. With infinite labour, exertion and judgment, all the re- 
cent discoveries and observations in all the branches of Natural 
Science, have been united in it. 
In the Animal reign, the works of Schreber, Pennant, Fabri- 
cius, Goetz, Schroeter, Muller, Cronstedt, Von Veltheim, 
Bergmann, Kirwan, Bloch, Herbst, Stoll, Voigt, Fuessli, 
Sestini, Buffon, Adanson, Camper, and the Travels of Pallas, 
Sonnerat, Leske, Lepechin, GuldenstjEdt, Peyrouse, Ra- 
sumowsky and of an infinite number of other learned men have been 
consulted. 
Had LinnjEUS even enjoyed a longer life, no such enlargement and 
perfe&ion of his code of nature could have been expedited from him in the 
North*.
