Concerning bugs (Cimex), which belong to the same family as Gicada, although they abound in some parts of Paris and London, we know of no use whatever that could be made of them ! Southey once remarked, " We have not taken animals enough into alliance with us. The more spiders there were in the stable the less would the horses suffer from flies. The fire-fly (Elater noctilucd) should be imported into Spain to destroy mos- quitoes. In hot countries a reward should be offered to the man who could... discover what insects feed upon fleas. " It is well known that cockroaches (Blatta Ameri- cana) destroy bugs, and when a house is infested with one of these noxious insects, it is rare that the other will be found in the same place. But man himself appears hitherto to be the animal that destroys most fleas. Many more disgusting insects than those just mentioned are eaten in different parts of the world, but as this work might fall into the hands of people of delicate appetites, I shall pass them over, and refer to Kirby and Spence's manual for a descrip- tion of the Pterophagi, a people of Africa, who chase the game upon their own private property.
