 that sonie w riters endeavour to conceal in a fog of mere words tlic want of 

 clear and well-dcfined idcas, as well as of that critical knowlcdgc which is 

 indispensable in Natural History. And it is out of this that has arisen that le- 

 cion of phantoma whioh so effectaally bewilder the inexperienced."
