Rese�a del editor

Danish naturalist, Fabricius, that nothing in natural history is more abstruse and difficult than an accurate description of the senses of animals This inherent complexity of the subject appears to have induced Lehmann to undertake the investigation of the senses of insects f. He collected into a focus all that was known previous to his time, though he has added very little from his own observation; but since that period much has been done by Marcel deS erres, Wollaston, Miiller, and others. The chief difficulty of the subject arises from the great physical differences which exist between animals furnished with bones and warm blood, and insects that have neither, rendering all inference from analogy much less to be depended on than if the physical structure of each were similar. When we see an elephant, for example, use his trunk to lift a small piece of money from the ground, we cannot doubt but that he feels the coin as plainly as we should do in lifting it with the hand, and hence the inference Nye Samling as detD anske, c. ii. 375. fD eS ensibus Externis I nsectorum, p.l,4to.
