FOOTNOTES:
[1] By +William John Broderip+, Esq., F.R.S. The part containing the
article was published in 1836, the volume (ix.) appeared in 1837.
[2] “So in Willughby, but the print is somewhat indistinct, and
there maybe error. In the original the words are ‘_Walgh-Vogel_,
hoc est, nauseam movens, partim quod’ &c., the word therefore is an
interpolation.”
