This paper contains a discussion of some points raised by 
Professor Schaum, in opposition to the views put forward by 
Meinert in his paper on the Forficulce (Kroyer^s ^Tidsskrift^), as to 
the structure of the abdomen in those insects. The chief question 
between these authors relates to the number of abdominal seg- 
ments — Meinert holding that the abdomen consists of ten seg- 
ments, whilst Schaum maintains that there are only nine of them.
