Blattid^e. 
Duchamp, G. Observations sur la structure et le ddveloppement de 
la Capsule Ovigere de la Blatta orientalis. Rev. Montp. vii. 
pp. 423-427. 
Concerns the structure of the egg-capsule and of the glands producing 
the secretion of which it is formed. The usual number of eggs is 16. 
It is probable that the capsule is perfected simultaneously with the arrival 
of the eggs in the lower part of the genital organs. The capsule is com- 
posed of regular crystals, glued together by an amorphous substance. 
Woodcuts of the crystals, &c., are given.
