Includes a general description of the brain of Insects, and remarks 
on its analogy to that of vertebrate animals ; and a description of the 
brain of Caloptenus spretus^ which is compared with that of other Insects.

same sub-class of Insects, and that of the locust is more highly developed 
than in most other Insects, except in ants, bees, and wasps. The character
