ACCORDING TO Dr. Jousset de Bellesnie,
cocoons do not serve insects as a protection against the cold. The pupa resists congela- tion by reason of a continuous liberation of heat due to the destruction of the musculai- system of the larva, which is much more
considerable than that of the mature insect. The large quantity of uric acid discharged at the time of metamorphosis is a proof of the extent of the organic transformations which have taken place.-Journ. qfsci., March 1880, p. 214.
