VON Dalla Torre K : W. Zur biologie von 

 bombus gerstaeckeri Mor. : b. opulentus 

 Gerst. (Zool. anzeiger, 7 Dec. 1S85, v. 8, 

 p. 691-693.) 



The females of bombus gerstaeckeri found, without 

 exception, gathering pollen from aconitum lycociontim 

 (= (T. ranuuctilifolium), while the males and workers 

 gathered pollen, without exception, from aconitum 

 tinpelliis anA a. paniciilatum; for this peculiar relation- 

 ship of the food to the sexes the author proposes the 

 name of heterotrophy ; in the case of b. gerstaeckeri, 

 as an adaptation to the species of plant visited, the 

 remarkable length (21-23 mm.) of the mouth-parts of 

 the females and the shortness (S-12 mm.) of the mnuth- 

 parts of the males are noticed. G: D. (4401)

Fottinger, Alexander. Sur les terminaisons 

 des nerfs dans les muscles des insectes. 

 (Arch, de biol., 1880, v. i, p. 279-304, pi, 

 10.) 



Researches made upon the structure of the nerve- 

 terminations in the muscles of insects — the so-called 

 cones of Doyere — showing that these organs Iiave a 

 transverse striation, as if the muscular disks extended 

 into the termination of the nerve; that the nervous con- 

 traction always begins at these cones; and that in the 

 terminal cone the cylinder-axis divides into fibrillae 

 which go to the intermediate disks. G: D. (4405)
