ries— t]ie Inglier including the Ilymeiioptera^ Lepidoptera,, and 
Diptera, and the lower the Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Orthoptera, 
and Neiiroptera. The last-mentioned group is placed by the 
author, in a diagrammatic arrangement, as a sort of common 
term belonging to, or uniting both series ; Lejnsma and Podura 
are said to lead from the Neuroptera to the Myriapods, through 
Pauroj)us (Lubb.) ; and the connexion betAYeen the Hexapoda 
and Arachnida is through the wingless flies, such as Braula, 
CMonea, and Nycteribia, which present a general resemblance to 
Sj)idcrs. Tlie higher series culminates in Ajns, and the lower 
one in Cicindda. 
The anatomical portion of this treatise is illustrated with 
numerous and excellent w^oodcuts ; and the second part contains 
two j)lates of figures, engraved on wood, illustrating a few of the 
chief forms of fossil insects, and the parasites of the Hive-Bee.
