Abstract
THE phenomena of insect metamorphosis have been widely studied in this country from the point of view of morphology; the physiological aspects of the process have in comparison met with little attention. Several foreign observers have devoted themselves to the investigation of various questions relating to the exchange of material during growth and development in insects. the species usually selected being the common silkwormmoth of commerce. Results of considerable interest have followed from these researches; and, as the author of the treatise before us remarks, a wide field is thereby opened for further physiological investigation.
