 The first is I'lati/pteryx, Laspeyres {Drepanu, Schrank) ; tiie other two groups 

 (II, Eruca jndibus duodccim ; 111, Eruca pedibus decern) corrcsj)on(ls to the true 

 riuthi'itida'. The second (uiuiaiiied) genus comprises the uioderu irer ra 

 Metrocunipa and EUopia ; and the ttiird (unnamed) genus (subdivided into five; 

 sections) begins with Urapteryx .sambucaria and ends with Hybcrnia drfoli- 

 ana; the genera between are arranged with little regard to the natural system, 

 and in this respect the arrangement is inferior to tlial of Linnajus. 



In 1810 (Considerations), he followed the same arrang(mient. 



In IHlo, Leach, in the Edinburgh Encyclopa;dia, proposed the name 

 P/i(dce»ides fov the family, according to Agassiz's ^'Noincnclator;" \n\\ I have,
