Carl Linnaeus, the author of Systema Naturae

The 12th edition of Шаблон:Lang was the last edition of Шаблон:Lang to be overseen by its author, Carl Linnaeus. It was published by Laurentius Salvius in Holmiæ (Stockholm) in three volumes, with parts appearing from 1766 to 1768.[1] It contains many species not covered in the previous edition, the 10th edition which was the starting point for zoological nomenclature.

Starting point

Only five editions of Шаблон:Lang were written by Linnaeus himself, namely the first, second, sixth, tenth and twelfth.[2] When a "starting point" for zoological nomenclature was first considered, in the Strickland Code of 1843, the 12th edition of Шаблон:Lang was chosen, so that any names which Linnaeus had altered from previous editions would be recorded in their final state.[3] It was later replaced by the 10th edition as the starting point for most zoological nomenclature.[4] The starting point for most names in botanical nomenclature is the 1753 work Шаблон:Lang.[5]

Format

Linnaeus divided the 12th edition into three volumes, the first of which was published in two parts.[6] Volume 1 covered Шаблон:Lang – the animal kingdom – with the first 532 pages appearing as Part 1 in 1766, and pages 533–1327 appearing as Part 2 in 1767.[6] Volume 2 covered Шаблон:Lang – the plant kingdom; it comprised 736 pages and appeared in 1767, with an additional 142-page Шаблон:Lang.[6] Volume 3 covered Шаблон:Lang – the mineral kingdom – and appendices to all three volumes; it comprised 236 pages and was published in 1768.[6] Including appendices, front matter and back matter, the three volumes cover around 2,400 pages.[7]

Novelties

Many species were included in the 12th edition which had not been included in earlier editions. For example, Linnaeus had included 700 species of mollusc in the 10th edition, and added a further 100 species for the 12th edition.[8] Similarly, the number of bird species in the 12th edition was twice the number in the 10th edition.[9] Sponges were included in the 12th edition, in the class "Zoophyta", having been omitted from previous editions.[10] The 12th edition also included the hundred insect species published separately in Шаблон:Lang,[2] and omitted a claim which Linnaeus had made in earlier editions, that new species do not form,[11] implicitly allowing speciation. also, on the last page of book he (Linnæus.) added new genus that named "chaos" in order zoophyta, class vermes. into that order were included some species, like chaos fungorum, chaos ustilagum, chaos protheus, chaos redivivum, chaos infusorium. in fact, chaos infusorium included every known protist of 18 century. (expect volvox, that was divided into his own genus.)
