From this view of what our great naturalist has 

 done in this class, it appears that nothing was 

 wanted to make it a natural class, but to fix upon 

 a character in addition to " Alee quatuor membra- 

 nace^e" which would exclude those Neuropterous 

 genera that he included in it(72). 



Dr. Martin Lister, in an appendix to Ray's 

 Historia Insectorum, has included all insects, with 

 four naked wings, in one division subdivided into 



a PapilioneSj Lihellce, &c. 



/3 Apes, Vespce, Crahrones, &c.

 this class, that he divides it into two orders, the first containing 

 what may be denominated two subdivisions and four genera, 

 jind the other four subdivisions and as many genera.
