 by Reaumur (c), The bottom of the cavity of the 

 former, he thinks, may be regarded as a kind of 

 palate (r/). 



Radicula. Thefirstjointof the antennas, which 

 I have denoted by this name, has been overlookedy 

 in numbering the articulations of that part, by 

 Linneus and most authors. De Geer has some- 

 times noticed, and at others omitted it(e'); though 

 it exists in all Hymenopteroiis insects. The accu- 

 rate eye of Reaumur discovered it, at least in A, 

 meUifica (f) . 



Scapus. I have applied this term to the second 

 joint of the antennas, which has been usually deno- 

 minated " antennai-um articulns primus " Linneus 

 occasionally distinguishes it by the name of bul- 

 hu.<;{s^). Reaumur calls it lefiisemi., on account of 

 its fusiform shape in A, meUifca{h).
