Tyrrell shares observations on the 'perfect' insect. Includes two full-colour figures of insect wings, annotated 'Drawings accompanying Mr John Tyrrell's paper in Insect Circulation June 1834'. Marked as 'not to be printed' by Roget. Followed by a letter written by Tyrrell on 18 December 1834 correcting a point in his original paper.
