Note 128 — CHAP. VIII. OF THE ANIMALCULA INFUSORIA. (continued 3)
Reading edition
In the former edition of this work, owing to an error in the numeration, it appeared that 379 of these animalcula were described, though in reality it contained only 377, or the number which has already been given.
Previous to the publication of Mr. Adams’s edition, a friend communicated to him drawings and descriptions of several of these minute beings which had fallen under his observation; but they were received too late for insertion. Mr. A. having at that time favoured me with a copy of the drawings and manuscript, they are now added, with the hope that they will not prove unacceptable to the curious reader. Edit.
