pair to the metathorax, and in changing to the imago each pair of spiracles is transferred to that segment to which it fnnction- ally belonged in the larva. The typical number of spiracles in insects is ten pairs, and none are ever present in excess of this number, or which are not homologous with some of these. In Mr. Gissler's article in PSYCHE, vol. 2, p. 240, it is stated that the adult 'Amblychila has seven pairs of stigmata." De- siring to find what had become of the missing spiracles of the larva, I examined some specimens collected in Kansas and kindly presented by Mr. S. W. Williston, of New Haven. Without attempting to find the minute mesothoracic pair, which are not present in the larva, the prothoracic pair and seven ab- dominal pairs were easily discovered, making eight in all. The metathorax of Amblvchila is very much reduced dorsally7 the wings are absent, and no spiracles are apparent on this' seg- ment. The pair under the posterior edge of the prothorax are, as usual, very large. The spiracles of the abdomen dimin- ish in size to the last, which are nevertheless well developed. W. H. Patton.
