NOTES
[1] _Horae Entomologicae_, by W. S. MacLeay, Esq. M.A. of Trinity College,
Cambridge. London, 1819. A work which for acuteness of reasoning and
profound research, has never been equalled either in this, or perhaps in
any other country.
[2] It is truly grievous in those which are privileged to possess
themselves of the works of their countrymen, however expensive, at free
cost, and thus to inflict a ruinous fine on authors. Thus--National
Institutions, founded for the encouragement of learning, are made to
oppress and impoverish its followers.
[3] Were it necessary at this time of day to point out the unnatural
separation of shells intimately connected with each other, which the
Linnaean arrangement presents, it would be sufficient to observe, that the
genus _Bulimus_ is formed of shells scattered in the old genera of _Turbo_,
_Helix_, and _Bulla_: thus we see in Mr. Dillwyn's Catalogue, the large
pink-mouthed African land-snail put in the same genus with our English
_Bulla lignaria_, and _aperta_; the one inhabiting the depths of forests,
and the others the depths of ocean!
