r last exuviaeare often found fixed to trees, and upon walls. De Geer formed these insects and the Pfiri/ganea into a distinct order, in consequence of the minuteness orabsence of the parts of the mouth. In the Tableau Elementaire of Cuvier they also form a pecuUar group, namedAjjnatha, but which formed part of the order Neuroptera. The number of the wings and of the anal filaments lead to the establishment of various divisions in the genusEphemera; some having four wings and two tails (E. Sirammerdamiana); others four wings and three tails(Ephemera proper, E.vulgata, Linn.); some with two wings and three tails, and the eyes of the male doubled, onepair placed in foot stalks. [Others again have only two wings and two tails. These various groups have beenformed into separate genera by Leach, and other subsequent authors, E. vulgata, the commonest species, andwhich is well known to fly-fishers under the name of the Grey Drake, being retained as the type of the restrictedgenus Ephemera.]

They have generally the wings very much reticulated and naked, with the maxillary palpi ordinarilyfiliform, or rather thickened at the lips, shorter than the head, and composed of four or live joints. I shall divide this family into five sections, composing, on account of their habits, so many smalldistinct sub-families. 1. The Paiiorpatie of Latreille, which have five joints in all the tarsi, and the anterior extremityof the head prolonged, and narrowed in the form of a beak or rostrum. They constitute the genus 1anorpa, Linnmus,â
