= Roscoe 2; Nissen ZBI 351; Ray 49 (ed. 1790). "But the new [2nd] edition was no mere reprint: it was a largely revised, expanded, and improved work. Impressions of the cuts are far more satisfactory, there are drastic revisions and many additions in the text, many blocks have been reworked, twelve new figures are added, and the fourteen descriptions of bats make their first appearance."
