Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Monograph of the Collembola and Thysanura
The animals which form the subject of this work were first grouped together by Latreille under the name of thysanura: to me, on the contrary, they -appear to form two distinct orders, for one of which I have proposed the term collembola. They have hitherto been much neglected by English naturalists. And they from their small size, and the delicacy of their structure, which renders them uninteresting to col lectors, together with the absence of well-marked meta morphoses, this is, perhaps, not surprising; yet the two groups are in many respects of singular interest.
