Lathams Synopf Suppl. p. 63. 
New Holland, which may not unjuftly lay claim to 
the more dignified title of the Southern Continent, 
may be confidered as a kind of new world to the 
1 
Naturalift; and has already afforded ieveial animals 
unknown to every other part of the globe. To no 
other genus, however, have fuch large acceflions of 
new fpecies been added as to that of Piitfacus ; of 
which fome of the moll fuperb kinds appear to be na¬ 
tives of New Holland, and fome of the Southern Iflands.
