elongate, five-jointed; the last joint with two small nails: larva 
elongate, agile, somewhat cylindric, composed of twelve joints, tb e 
three first harder than the rest, and each bearing a pair of feet; the

the power of motion prior to its emerging from the water (in which 
it resides), for the purpose of changing into the fly-state.” 
Genus 375. PIIRYGANEA. I. 'nine, Fabr., Geoff., T.atr., Leach. 
Dr. Leach has paid the greatest attention to the insects of tins 
Order, having collected them with unexampled assiduity in various 
parts of England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. The Doctor 
will probably publish a work on this Order. When published, ^ 
must refer the student to it for a further account of the genera. 
Fam. I. Leptoceridm. Leach. 
Antenna much longer than the whole body. 
Genus 376. LEPTOCEIIUS. Leach. 
Antenna: simple, not denticulated.

banks of Loch Lomond, on the margins of rivulets at Dreghon’- 
near Edinburgh, and near Carlisle in northern England. It occurs
