Finds that certain species of aphididae, when kept hungry, produced the winged form even as early in the season as June; compares this hastened development with the hastened nunation of lenido~terous larvae when kept hungry, andthus regards the winged a@- ididae as representing the highest development of the insect (a view held by Claus and Lenckart), and not as larvae (as Lichtenstein regards them) :
notes uoon the
?ignifi&ce of the absence of the ve&lae directrices in arthropoda and rotifera, upon the mouth-parts of phytopkthires, and upon a peculiar sense-organ of the fifth and sixth sea'ments of the antennae of sckizoneura lan igera.

A general discussion of the
eggs of lepidoptera,
illustrated by European species for the most part; the author treats of their form, color, polished and dead surface, their fecundity, the duration of incubation and the effect of temperature upon it, the mode of protection of eggs by the parent, and parthenogenesis, and attempts to classify the eggs of certain groups of lepidoptera by their character.

The author concludes, from a series of exweriments here detailed, upon the action of odors in general and upon special organs, that "an absolute sensitive olfac- tory organ is not present in certain insects, since one set of organs (the antennae) is most sensitive to one odorous material, while another set of organs (the palpi) is most sensitive to another odorous material."
