J. F. Gmelin published his edition of the Linnean Sys tenza Nature. The entomological part is comprized in three parts, and was published in Lcipsic. The editor is considerably indebted to the writings of Fabricius ; and although he rejects his classification, yet he has copied the species, and incorporated them with the Lin nean genera, which he has divided into families answer ing to the Fabrician genera, and has, by this means, very materially augmented and improved the original work of Linne ; although we must allow that he has commit ted a vast number of the most inexecusable blunders, especially in his quotations and references to plates. He has also, in many instances, described the same animal twice, or three times, under different names. We are surprised that his errors are less numerous, as he can be esteemed in no other light than as an industrious closet compiler.
