The male seizes the antenna) of the female with his own ; they remain 
in this positiou some time, the male boing often lifted lip by the female. 
At length, a drop of fluid is emitted from the genital tubercle of the 
male ; this is seized by the female by aid of her mouth, and transferred to 
a special structure on the antennae of the male, where it partially dries ; 
the mass is then swallowed by the female, and, arriving near the anus, 
the fertilizing elements are conveyed to the ovaries by means of a special 
tube opening into the rectum. 
. Recherches sur le developpement des Podurelles. L. c. pp. 483-520,

Lengthy and minute observations on Anurophorus laricis and Smin- 
thurus fuscus, almost entirely embryological. The author is of opinion 
that both anatomy and embryology demonstrate that the Thysanura offer 
characters so distinct from those of other insects as to constitute a special 
group, close to true insects, but showing also incontestable affinities with 
Crustacea , Arachnida , and Myriopoda. The plates illustrate the gradual 
development of the embryo down to the exclusion of the larva.

A very important memoir, limited to a consideration of the genera 
Goniodes , Gonioctes , Lipurus, Ornithobius , Acidoproctus , and Tricho- 
dectes (in the old sense of the terms), and to a large extent supplementary 
to “ Les Pddiculines ” of Piaget [cf. Zool. Rcc. xvii. Ins. p. 204], but 
with many^new species, some new genera or subgeneric divisions, a multi- 
tude of redescriptions from types of Giebel and others, resulting in consider- 
able synonymic changes ; indications of new “ hosts,” &c., &c. It is not
