Est lucos Silari circa ilicibusque virentem Plurimus Alburnum volitans, cui nomen asilo Romanum est, Oestrum Graii vertere vocantes, Asper, acerba sonans; quo tota exterrita silvis Diffugiunt armenta; furit mugitibus æther Concussus, sylvæque et sicci ripa Tanagri. _Georg._ lib. iii. 146. [GL] Linnæus, Lachesis Lapponica, July 19th. [GM] Linnæus, Flora Lapponica, p. 378, ed. Lond. 1792. [GN] Kirby and Spence, Introd. i. 151. [GO] Kirby and Spence, p. 149. [GP] These circumstances afford, we think, a complete answer to the query of Kirby and Spence--"There can be little doubt (or else what is the use of such an apparatus?) that it bores a hole in the skin."--Introd. i. 162, 2nd edit. [GQ] Linn. Trans. iii. 305. [GR] Linn. Trans. iii. 305. [GS] Mém. iv. 540. [GT] Réaumur, iv. 549. [GU] Bruce's Travels, i. 5, and v. 191. Transcriber's Note The unmatched opening quote on page 12 was assumed to be a typographical error and removed. Where a sequential series of paragraphs have an opening bracket without a closing one, these were standardized to one opening and one closing bracket for the whole section. One opening bracket missing on page 38 was assumed to belong at the start of last line of that paragraph. The closing quote from the second paragraph on page 47 was added. An Internet search confirmed this location. Where the footnotes originally stated "Ibid.", the source of the previous footnote was inserted.
