Thus there are thirty-six species of insects known by the moderns, of 

 which we think we have determined the corresponding names in He- 

 brew, in Greek, and in Latin. 



VI. Conclusion. — In France at the present day, 800,000 hectares 

 [1,976,91 4 acres] of land are planted with the vine, the fruit of which, 

 converted into wine, yields an annual produce of 760,000,000 francs, 

 [,30,158,730/. sterling.] The consideration therefore of the insects 

 destructive of a plant which is the source of so much wealth does not 

 appear superfluous ; and to lessen my regret at having so long occupied 

 the time devoted by the Academy to researches of more importance, I 

 would at least persuade myself that these minute inquiries are not 

 devoid either of interest or of utility.
