Entomological Botany {with more especial reference to the Plants 

 frequented by the Tineina). By H. T. Stainton, Esq. 



The relation between plants and phytophagous insects is some- 

 what similar to that between geological strata and the fossils im- 

 bedded in them ; we should laugh at the idea of a collector of fossils 

 travelling about the country in search of them, yet totally uninformed 

 as to the different strata in which they occur : nevertheless, hitherto 

 little surprise has been evinced at the neglect which Botany ex- 

 periences from entomologists, and, on the other hand, it seems 

 surprising how rarely a first-rate botanist turns his attention to 

 Entomology, though from his knowledge of plants he would start with 

 an immense advantage in the race.
