Our classifications will come to be, as far as they can be so made, genealogies; and will then truly give what may be called the plan of creation. The rules for classifying will no doubt become simpler when we have a definite object in view. We possess no pedigrees or armorial bearings; and we have to discover and trace the many diverging lines of descent in our natural...
228 페이지 - Yet a crane-fly (Tipula) will leave half its legs in the hands of an unlucky boy who has endeavoured to catch it, and will fly here and there with as much agility and unconcern as if nothing had happened to it ; and an insect impaled upon a pin will often devour its prey with as much avidity as when at liberty.

Rudimentary organs will speak infallibly with respect to the nature of long-lost structures. Species and groups of species which are called aberrant, and which may fancifully be called living fossils, will...

136 페이지 - He added that all the larvae went down by the end of July. The first emergence took place on August 20th, and they continued coming out at the rate of about five a day, through the rest of that month and September ; only five emerged in October, and the last one appeared on November llth.

136 페이지 - Still the impressions of those who have paid attention to particular groups of insects are even now of some importance, though at present based on incomplete knowledge. He thought the Rhopalocera would prove to be a somewhat exceptional group in their distribution.

He thought that if Lepidoptera generally...
