INTRODUCTION TO ENTOMOLOGY. 
(Miss Eleanor A. Obmerod.) 
Classification of Iiisects. 
Opinions of different writers vary much as to 
the most desirable form, but the method appears 
to be the most simple and comprehensive in which 
are divided into thirteen orders, arranged ac- 
cording to general similarity in the early stages, 
and also iu the general appearance of the perfect 
insects composing each order ; also, according to 
the number or nature of the wings or the method 
in which they are folded beneath the wing-cases. 
In the table the orders are arranged accordingly 
in the clas&ificai-ion given in Prof. Westword's 
Introduction to Entomology, these thirteen orders 
being formed into two great tribes of Mandibulata 
and Haustellata, according to whether they feed 
by means of jaws (mandibles) as in the case of 
beetles, or by means of some kind of sucker 
(liau.stellum) as in the case with butterflies, 
!iplnde.= , &c. 
These orders are placed in succession according 
to the nearest resemblance which the insects of 
one order bear to the one preceding or following ; 
and the reader will notice that the two last sylla» 
bles of the name of each order are Ptera, meaning
