Goldi, Emil A. Aphorismen, neue resultate 

 und conjecturen zur frage nach den fort- 

 pflanzungs-verhaltnissen Jer phytophtiren 

 enthalteiid. (Mittheil. Schweiz. entom. 

 gesells., Apr. 1885, v. 7, p. 158-166.) 

 Kinds 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 pupation of lepidopterous larvae 

 when kept hungry, and thus regards the winged aph- 

 ididae as representing tlie highest development of the 

 insect (a view held by Claus and LeucUart), and not as 

 larvae (as Lichtenstein regards then.) ; notes upon the 

 significance of the absence of tlie -uesiailae directrices 

 in arthropoda and rotifera, upon the mouth-parts of 

 phylophthires, and upon a peculiar sense-organ of the 

 fifth and sixth segments of the antennae of schizonenra 

 lanigera. G: D. (4406)

 ptefes. (Ann. Soc. entom. France, 1884,

A general discussion of the eggs of lepidoptera, 

 illustrated by European species for the most part; the 

 autlior 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 plate cont;iins colored fiuures of 

 the eggs of 42 species of lepidoptera. G: D. (4407)

Crit. rev., by F. A. J. Plateau, entitled, 

 " Une experience sur la tbnction desanten- 

 nes chez la \A'a.\.X.&, perij>laneta orieiitalis" 

 (Compte-rend. Soc. entom. Belg., 5 June 

 1886, p. 118-122). 



The autlior concludes, from a series of experiments 

 here detailed, upon tlie 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 anotlier odorous material."
