Excerpt from The Insect World: Being a Popular Account of the Orders of Insects, Together With a Description of the Habits and Economy of Some of the Most Interesting Species
In preparing the present edition of the "Insect World," I have adhered to the text of the first, except where alterations were imperatively needed.
With regard to the Strepsiptera, placed originally before the Coleoptera, I have followed the generally accepted plan of incorporating these remarkable insects as a distinct family, with the latter Order.
