We cannot fele6l more pleafing objects for microfcopical Inveftiga- 

 tion, than thofe two minute moths, efpecially the firfl; the markings 

 appear rather confufed without the affiftance of glafies, but a lens of 

 a very fmall power completely developes it of this imaginary obfcu- 

 rity, and difplays an elegance fufiicient to recommend it to our atten- 

 tion ; but independent of fuch confideration, it will, it is prefumed, be 

 confidered as a material advantage to the defcription annexed, to ac- 

 company the figure of the natural fize with a microfcopical reprefeii- 

 tation ; not to enforce that fuch addition is indifpenfibly neceiTary, but 

 when moths like the prefent offer, whofe marks, though Beautiful, 

 appear confufed, it will certainly much affift to its neceilkry informa- 

 tion i as well as in future to determine the fpecies itfelf.
