STUDY OF ENTOMOLOGY, 



AND ON AN 



HYMENOPTEROUS INSECT WHICH DEVOURS THE LEAVES OF THE 

 GOOSEBERRY BUSH. 



BY JOHN MOORE, ESQ. F.L.S. 



(Read April 6tb, 1827.) 



A.N eminent writer observes, that " the best 

 " way to learn any science is to begin with a 

 " regular system, or short and plain scheme of 

 " that science, and for this reason, young stu- 

 " dents should apply themselves to such systems 

 " rather than to pamphlets." 



At the period when this excellent advice was 

 given, and, indeed, before the time of Linnaeus, 

 several branches of Natural History, and espe- 

 cially Entomology, could hardly be said to have 

 assumed any generally acknowledged systema- 

 tic arrangement.
