Excerpt from De Scaphirhyncho Rafinescii Disquisitiones Anatomicæ
Commentatio Heckeliana potius dignitatis est zoologicae, quam zootomicae, quippe qua et indoles externa, partiumque singula rum dimensiones accurate afferantur, et loca, in quibus piscis re periatur, modusque, quo capiatur, et carnium sapor resque similes enarrentur, structurae tamen rationibus ac formatione non dili gentius descriptis. Sic, ut exemplo utar, systematis musculorum omnino ratio non habetur, atque, quae ad viscera attinent, ea tantum pariter atque in Accipensere se habere dicuntur.
