spots; and the orders, of which there are fourteen, by the 
number of spots on the lower wings. 
Class 23. Polygamia is marked by two rings, one on each 
wing, with several small dots in them; it has two orders: 1st, 
Moncecia, known by two double rings; 2nd, Dicecia, is marked 
by two double rings, and a central spot in each. 
Class 2-1. Cryptogamia is distinguished by having no marks 
on the upper wings ; it is now considered to consist of nine 
orders, though in the original Linnasan arrangement eleven are 
mentioned. They are known on the labels by the number of 
spots on the lower wings in the manner of Classes 1 to 11. 
We have placed the whole of the classes and orders in the 
following tabular form for more easy reference, and here we 
must explain: those orders which occur from the sixteenth to the 
twenty-third class, having the names of previous classes, are 
marked in the same manner, only they are then placed on the 
lower instead of the upper wings; thus Diandria, the second 
class, is marked by two spots on the upper wings; but it occurs 
as the second order of the class Moncecia, and is then marked 
by two spots on the lower wings ; and again, there are three 
orders which are distinguished by having no marks ; yet no con¬ 
fusion need be apprehended therefrom, because they never 
occur in the same class, and can always be determined by the 
distinguishing marks of the class to which they belong : —
