Extract

The species of our insects having near allies in the better known or earlier known European fauna, have called “representative” by the elder Agassiz. And this term would be sufficiently exact and useful did we not associate with it the somewhat metaphysical sense, that these forms were separately created and owe their resemblance to the arbitrary will of the Creator.
