that these ribs are hardened remnants OF tubes
through which the circulation was carried on in the
earlier stages OF life In the perfect animal these
tubes become hard and the opening is obliterated.
When the wings are very hard, ms in the beetle
no trace OF these ribs is pcrceptibe Usually, these
hard wings answer the purposes Of shields for the
protection of the membraneous wings underneath
aud extend over the posterior portion oil the aldo
men, But in many insects the two pairs of wings
are membraneOus Sometimes the posterior por
ton Of the wiRg is softer than the anterior portion
These differences in the structure of the wing have
been made the basis of the classification OF many
entomologists
Where there are hard wings covering membrane
GUS wings Us in the beetle the insects have been
called C0ieQDicy0. They are the most numerous
and OF them the greatest number have been de-

and also large jaws armed with
teeth. Some have two jaws,
others have a third, and thus
the bite makes a triangular cut
in the skin OF the animal on
which they fssten. The ali

shows dilatations, and these di-

They fix themselves by this large mouth on the
babies on which they prey. The transverse artic-
nations are scarcely distinguishabe. flat den
tstion on the margin is all that is seen oithem In
fact il has been doubted that they belong to the
type OF artculats and il it were not for the struc
tare Of the nervous system these doubts would
have some value. But 1t is owing to the very
transparent nature of the tissues OF the body that
these nrficnlatiens are so slightly marked. The

Other usiurallsts have made use Of the Jaws Of
insects as the basis Of classification. The beetle
for instance, has very powerful Jaws, by which they
can cut their food and divide it lust as the carniyer

an appendsge, we see here, internal an external
antenns. and here the mouth. Here are the man
dibles Then another pair more slender. and a
third pair still more slender. Then come three
other pairs more complicated. So we have Sc
res of appendages from the tail TO the anterior ex
tremity Of the head. In the posterior extremity
they are paddles, by which the animal svims. In
the tail they are fat appendages in the thorax
they are feet in the head, Jaws IN the anterior
extremity OF the head, appendages by which the
animals touch their food. and the first OF these ap
pendages terminates in eye. and all these difer
ent appendices are only notifications OF one and
the same type Nothing is more interesting than
to trace these notifications through different iam
lies.
Among crustscea there are great many which
are parasites and form q group They attach
themselves to the gills, skin and fins OF hshes In
these, some Of the Jaws and anterior portion OF the
feet unite together from the two siGes and form at
the junction q large sucker. by which the little ant

parasite. These appendages these suckerlike discs
are formed sometimes of the jaws, and sometimes

phoss of these parasites is extremely curious
They are free moving insects when young, but NJ

In former lecture there are various causes which
aid in producing the phosphorescence Of the ocean
The Class of Insects is the most numerous OF all
thc classes of the animal kingdom There are GER
taiply between sixty and eighty thousand species
already noticed by naturaists and more than forty
Thousand species which have received names. We
may then safely estimate the aggregate number OF
these species at some hundreds OF thousands.
Their structure has been extensively and closely
stndied. But 10 give even the breest abstract Of
yyhat hes been ascertained regarding their struc

the most striking phenomena the metamorphoses

Asa class they are characterised by the struc-

the lateral portion of the wing, and communicating
with extensive tubes branching in the interior oil
the animal.
What is most peculiar TO insects however, is the
fact that thew undergo extensive changes during
the proeress of their growth They are born in the
form of worms, and live in that form for certain
time. when changing their skin, they assume
another form. and usually terminate their lives in
the form of winged animal In this class we have
usually three regions OF the body well defined
head forming the anterior portion OF the body--a
middle region. which is called the thorax, and a
posterior region, which is called the abdomen. On
the last named region we have the wings. W
have here the feet. These regions are divided by
transverse articulations into numerous rings
