THIRD GREAT DIVISION OF THE ANIMAL 
KINGDOM. 
CRUSTACEA, ARACHNIDES, AND INSECTA: 
OR ARTICULATED ANIMALS WITH ARTICULATED FEET. 
INSECTA. 
ORDER VI. 
ORTHOPTERA(1). 
In the Insects of this order, partly confounded by Linnzus 
with the Hemiptera, and reunited by Geoffroy to the Coleop- 
tera, but asa particular division, we find the body generally 
less indurated than in the latter, and soft, semi-membranous 
elytra furnished with nervures, which, in the greater num- 
ber, do not join at the suture in a straight line. ‘Their wings 
are folded longitudinally, most frequently in the manner of a 
fan, and divided by membranous nervures running in the same 
direction. The maxille are always terminated bya dentated 
and horny piece covered with a galea, an appendage corre- 
sponding to the exterior division of the maxille of the Cole- 
optera. ‘They have also a sort of tongue or epiglottis.
