The structure and morphology of the sting of Apis mellifica and Vespa 
vulgaris are discussed and figured, and also the development of the male 
organs of generation in Bomhus, and of the ovipositor in the female, and 
exterior organs of generation in the male, of Cry plus migrator. All 
insects examined have 13 segments behind the head. The sting and 
ovipositor consist of 6 primary parts (reduced by fusion to 5 in the 
Hymenoptera observed), in all cases arising from 6 nipples or elevations, 
of which 4 are on the penultimate and 2 on the antepenultimate seg-
