THE WEEKLY ENTOMOLOGIST. 
tal qualities, enjoying indeed some 
that they alone share with man, they 
should be deficient in susceptibility of 
pain, and, no doubt, of pleasure also ! 
"We generally suppose that where the 
mental qualities are highly developed, 
where, in fact, the brain is ‘warranted 
superfine’, there, the feelings, whether 
by pain or pleasure, are affected to a 
more than ordinary extent. 
The observations of late years, 
however, and the conclusions arrived 
at as their result, tend to show that 
susceptibility is a faculty not necessa- 
rily dependent on, or connected with, 
a high degree of intelligence, but 
having a separate existence, and ca- 
pable of being joined with the latter 
or not, as expediency may direct. 
How suggestive are such considera- 
tions as the above, of the fact that 
every branch of Natural Science is 
worthy of study, and worthy equally 
with all the others ! In insects, one 
of the divisions of Natural History 
most despised as an object of systema- 
tic attention, we have an opportunity 
of observing a power at work under 
circumstances perhaps nowhere else 
to be found. Above all, how sugges- 
tive are the above considerations of 
the infinite wisdom with which the 
world was framed, and of the infinite 
skill which so exactly calculated the 
balance of all things !
