mine in what particulars the two above-mentioned infects accord or 

 difagree. For the prolixity of our statement we may claim fome indul- 

 gence, as it was deemed incumbent to fhew, that we were not dif- 

 pofed, on very trivial grounds, to contradict: an opinion fo generally 

 prevalent, as that of the prefent infect being a variety only of S. Cou- 

 volvuli ; an opinion that feems to have obtained an uniform afcendancy 

 over the minds of entomologiils in this country, and apparently of fome 

 on the continent alfo. Thole infects, when examined with fcrupulous 

 attention, appear indeed to differ in fo many effential refpects, that it 

 would feem impoffible they could heretofore have been confidered 

 fully, or we apprehend it would not have remained for us to point out 

 their differences. Upon the whole, therefore, we feel impreffed with 

 the propriety of considering them fpecifically distinct, though, at the 

 fame time, it muft be acknowledged, at the firft view, they might be 

 cafuallv admitted as varieties of each other.
