A studied review of the knowledge at that time, from which 

 the conclusion is drawn that nearly all fossil insects are generi- 

 cally, and part of them specifically, identical with living types, 

 and that in these particulars they agree with other fossil 

 animals.

46' and 46" are devoted to fossil insects, mostly arachnids, cop- 

 ied from Corda. The others are insects from Coalbrook-Daie, 

 Stonerield, and Aix. The brief text concerning them is found 

 in the London edition at i. 406-13, and ii. 74-79 ; in the Ameri- 

 can edition at i. 306-11 and ii. 74-79; in the German at pp. 

 453-63. The additions by Agassiz consist of a couple of unim- 

 portant notes. A new edition by Frank Buckland (London, 

 1858) 1 have not seen, and the London edition examined is the 

 second, apparently agreeing in every respect with the first, pub- 

 lished in 1836.
