 mals over smooth vertical smfaces." 

 (Joiirn. Rov. micros, soc, Oct. 18S4, s. 2, 

 V. 4, p. 716-71S.) 



The author slates that animals climb vertical smooth 

 surfaces either bv means of a fluid which acts by capil- 

 larity or is adfiesive, or by atmospheric pressure ; 

 among insects thu climbing is accomplished generally 

 bv means of a fluid secreted by glands, often of the 

 tarsus, but the males of dytisc'us and the larvae of 

 bltpharoccf idot' have svjckers. As is the case with 

 certain luitcs, the tarsal suckers (y( dt'tiscus are only 

 used to cling to the female during copiHation. Outline 

 of the history of the subject as pertaining to insects. 

 followed by description of mode of observation of the 

 tarsal baits iu living flies, aud account of the structure 

 of the tarsus and its glands in some insects. Use of 

 secretions to aid locomotion bv certain dipterous, cole- 

 opterous, hymeuoptcrous and hemcrobi'l larvae, by 

 springing spiders and by certain miles. G: D, (3939J
