comparative anatomy and cannot, therefore, be an " absurdity" 

 in any sense of the word. Our object in putting a fanciful name 

 on the figure was to lead people to find out for themselves what 

 it is. The figure on the cover of the News is merely to desig- 

 nate the volume and is not permanent, and is destroyed when 

 the ten numbers are bound. Our friend, the Hymenopterist, 

 was informed what the figure is by an Orthopterist. If the anal 

 aspect of a dipterous larva is not an edifying sight, we must 

 warn all our writers against sending us any figures of geni- 

 talia, especially those of the Hymenoptera ; but perhaps our 

 Hymenopterist excepts these. This gentleman's remarks also 

 apply to Bulletin 47, New York State Museum. The Regents 

 of the University of the State of New York, Prof. Needham 

 and Dr. Felt will please take notice.
