370 Rev. F. D. Morice and J. H. Durrant on the 



artificial, and one then sees simply the Species actually 

 combined by Nature into a single Association, arranged 

 among themselves according to Rules so precise, that it 

 is wonderful why one has not learnt them from Nature 

 long ago. 



To make Lovers of these Insects acquainted in advance 

 with the Genera estabhshed by this Method, the latter 

 shall be here not only communicated, but also placed over 

 against the Fabrician genera pubhshed already, so that it 

 will then be easy to compare these genera of Hr, Prof. 

 Jurine with those of Hr. Prof. Fabricius, or, if it seem good, 

 to combine them. 



[Here follows the (Latin) Tabulation of the Genera, which 

 need not be repeated, and the Article then proceeds as 

 follows] — 



From the above Parallels one can easily see, how the 

 Jurinean Genera are related to the Fabrician ; how very 

 closely many of the former approximate to the latter; 

 how natural too are many Fabrician Genera, not liable to 

 be superseded even by the Employment of this novel 

 Method ; and yet that this Class of Insects was bound to 

 profit * in its turn enormously thereby, since Hr. Prof. 

 Jurine, as well as the Wings, took also into consideration 

 those Parts, on whose Importance Hr. Prof. Fabricius 

 insisted with such Acuteness of perception. 



To say more of Hr. Prof. Jurine' s Enterprise would be 

 too much of a transgression over the Limits of a merely 

 preliminary Announcement. Let the above Statement 

 suffice, till this Work can tell its own Tale.
