ANTENN-E. Dl 
FoUmn is the Latin for a leaf; and per- 
foliate signifies leaved, or laminated. 
Aristate, or hair shaped. 
/ 
from arista, a stiff hair, or the beard on 
an ear of corn. 
Besides these, there are several less 
conspicuous distinctions ; and sometimes 
two of these shapes are united. A Ger- 
man naturalist has enumerated even 
one hundred and sixty varieties : but 
those, which I have shown you, are the 
ten principal kinds ; and you must re- 
member them, Lucy, so as to use them 
as readily as you do the letters of the 
alphabet. Can you tell me those which 
you learned the other day? 
Lucy, Yes, I can. The setaceous, or 
bristle-shaped ; pectinated, or feathered ; 
fusiform, or spindle shaped ; and the cla- 
vated, or club-shaped. But, mamma, it 
seems to me, that there is very little 
difference between the bristle-shaped, and 
the hair-shaped antenns?.
