Mr. Meyrick sent an elaborate memoir on the classification of the Tineina, in 

 which he attempted to shew that schemes based upon European foi'ms only, will not

 also dwelt largely on the importance of structural characters in Lepidoptera, as 

 opposed to those ordinarily taken from markings, &c.
