THE QUINARY SYSTEM. 



Mr. W. S. MacLeay, the author of this system, pro- 

 poses to arrange insects in circular groups of fives, so 

 as to place those which have the nearest resemblance, 

 or (as he terms it) affinity y contiguous to one another 

 in their several circles. We shall here give from the 

 Horee Entomological his arrangement of Clairville's 

 Mandihulata, with translations, &c., of his terms.
