and F.A. Wolf first rejected them. [13] In the speeches generally _L_+_V_=86%. In the _de Domo_ the proportion is 88 and in the _pro Marcello_ 87%. [14] Quintil. iv. 1. 68. It is possible that the writer may have used a quotation preserved from a real speech by Quintilian. [15] Tacitus, _Dial._ 22 "omnis clausulas uno et eodem modo determinet." [16] Ed. P. Piper, p. 861. [17] _Philologus_ (1886), Suppl. Bd. v. [18] Jaffe, _Bibl. Rer. German._, i. 326. [19] Delisle, _Cabinet des MSS._, ii 459. [20] "Statilius Maximus rursus emendavi ad Tironem et Laeccanianum et dom. et alios veteres III." He was a grammarian who lived at the end of the 2nd century. [21] _Epist._ 69 "Tullianas epistulas quas misisti cum nostris conferri faciam ut ex utrisque, si possit fieri, veritas exsculpatur." [22] Nolhac, _Petrarque et l'humanisme_, pp. 216-223.

It appears that the word was first applied to "learned antiquarians who show and explain to foreigners the antiquities and curiosities of the country" (quotation of 1762 in the _New English Dictionary_). CICHLID (_Cichlidae_), a family of Acanthopterygian fishes, related to the perches and wrasses, and confined to the fresh and brackish waters of Central and South America, Africa, Syria, and India and Ceylon. It has recently assumed special importance through the large number of genera and species, many of them showing extraordinary modifications of the dentition, which have been discovered in tropical Africa, especially in the great lakes Victoria, Tanganyika and Nyasa.
