Abstract
As the result of recent experimental studies in the biology of saw-flies of the family Tenthredinidæ, with particular reference to their parthenogenesis, I have been struck by the dearth of information as to their mating habits. My observations have revealed a novel point which I wish to record; and, in order to discuss its significance, I present first a brief summary of certain points relative to saw-fly breeding.
