Skr. iii, pp. 373-493, pis. i-iv. 
Descriptions and figures of the larvae of 9 genera, and a generalisation 
of the observations under “ theses.” A resume in French is given, 
pp. 476-493, in which he states that he has proposed a new theory of the 
development of the trachea in Insects ; thesis 19 states it thus : “l’appa- 
reil respiratoire, chez les insectes, ne peut-etre regarde comme une 
pure et simple formation de l’epiderme, ni comme resultant seule- 
ment de l’invagination de l’epiderme; mais le tissu conjonctif participe 
plus ou moins a la formation de l’appareil, celui-ci n’etant complete que 
par l’anastomose des invaginations centripetes de l’epiderme avec la for- 
mation centrifuge du tissu conjonctif. Chez les larves dont nous nous 
occupons igsi, les cordes laterales represented essentiellement les invagi- 
nations de r<$piderme.”
