Note 24 — [231] CHAPTER II [IX]
Reading edition
Louis Augustin Guillaume Bosc (1759-1828) visited the United States in 1796; later he taught at the Versailles Zoölogical Garden. It is uncertain as to which particular work is here referred to.
François Marie Daudin, whose specialty was reptiles, wrote Histoire naturelle, générale et particulière des Reptiles (Paris, 1802-04), which is probably the work cited.—Ed.
