Experiments*on the amount of carbonic dioxide [CO2| 
exhaled by different animals; p. 30-38, 43-44, 50-52, and 
73-78 contain accounts of experiments on insects, of 
which the author experimented upon larvae of geotrupes 
vernalis, carabus, pieris brassicae, sphinx ligustrt, 
cossus ligniperda and euprepia caja; pupa of sphinx 
ligustri; and imagos of vanessa polychloros, locusta
