VI. Conclusion.—In France at the present day, 800,000 hectares [1,976,914 acres] of land are planted with the vine, the fruit of which, converted into wine, yields an annual produce of 760,000,000 francs, [30,158,730l. sterling.] The consideration therefore of the insects destructive of a plant which is the source of so much wealth does not appear superfluous; and to lessen my regret at having so long occupied the time devoted by the Academy to researches of more importance, I would at least persuade myself that these minute inquiries are not devoid either of interest or of utility.
