  to

  noticed 
  in 
  detail 
  below, 
  on 
  

   the 
  destructive 
  powers 
  of 
  various 
  insects, 
  such 
  as 
  the 
  Butalis 
  cerealella, 
  Dacus 
  Oleag, 
  

   lassus 
  vastator, 
  Hylesinus 
  piniperda, 
  and 
  upon 
  Muscardine, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  on 
  the 
  disco- 
  

   very 
  of 
  a 
  French 
  species 
  of 
  cochineal, 
  have 
  been 
  accompanied 
  by 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  remarks 
  

   on 
  the 
  necessity 
  of 
  a 
  careful 
  investigation 
  of 
  their 
  habits 
  by 
  competent 
  naturalists, 
  by 
  

   which 
  alone 
  fit 
  remedies 
  can 
  be 
  discovered 
  against 
  their 
  attacks. 
  These 
  remarks 
  are 
  

   perfectly 
  just 
  ; 
  and 
  in 
  a 
  country 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  cultivation 
  of 
  silk, 
  olives, 
  grapes, 
  rape, 
  

   and 
  wheat 
  are 
  all 
  such 
  important 
  objects 
  of 
  industry, 
  and 
  all 
  so 
  subject 
  to 
  the 
  attacks 
  

   of 
  insects, 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  national 
  disgrace 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  permanent 
  and 
  well-endowed 
  situ- 
  

   ation, 
  to 
  which 
  a 
  man 
  like 
  Guerin-Meneville 
  can 
  be 
  appointed, 
  with 
  a 
  view 
  to 
  his 
  en- 
  

   tire 
  occupation 
  in 
  researches 
  so 
  essential 
  to 
  the 
  well-being 
  of 
  the 
  community 
  at 
  large, 
  

   without 
  being 
  left 
  to 
  carry 
  on 
  his 
  investigations 
  either 
  from 
  his 
  own 
  resources, 
  or 
  upon 
  

   the 
  casual 
  benevolence 
  (as 
  it 
  may 
  almost 
  be 
  termed) 
  of 
  some 
  wealthy 
  cultivator. 
  A 
  

   country 
  so 
  liberal 
  in 
  sending 
  forth 
  scientific 
  missions 
  to 
  foreign 
  climates, 
  ought 
  not 
  to 
  

   want 
  reminding 
  that 
  there 
  are 
  objects 
  nearer 
  home 
  equally 
  worthy 
  of 
  research.

  Linnsus,

  in 
  Patria 
  

   Necessitate," 
  would 
  show 
  that 
  benefits 
  of 
  a 
  difiereut 
  character 
  to 
  political 
  ones 
  may 
  be 
  

   obtained 
  by 
  a 
  journey 
  to 
  the 
  Sonth 
  of 
  France.
