RECORDS OF SOME NEW BRITISH PLANT-GALLS. 197 
“Hven in well-ordered England what precautions one has to take 
against the encroachments of insects ! 
“ But in Africa, beside this conflict, the differences of opinion with 
slave-traders and cannibals, the contention with lions and leopards as to 
possession of domestic animals, are incidents of a cheery rivalry with 
other forms of flesh and blood compared to this nightmare struggle 
with a class that knows no pity, that shares with us no feelings, and 
owns with us a community of origin so remote in its independent 
development that it might be the creation of another planet. 
“ Tt is surprising, to my thinking, that our asylums are not mainly 
filled with entomologists driven to dementia by the study of this horrible 
class ; on the contrary, however, by some surprising reversal of effect 
following cause, the study of insects appears to produce mild spectacled 
men of regular habits, dull sobriety and calm optimism, just as clergy- 
men are usually the authorities on spiders, and men of thin-lipped 
virtue affect the study of that most disproportionate development of 
generative energy, the earthworm.”
