Abstract
MR. LOWNE (NATURE, December 7) sees no difficulty whatever in explaining by what natural process an insect with a suctorial mouth is developed from one having the mandibular type of mouth, but still he does not explain. He affirms there is no doubt that “the pupa state is a modification (!) of the ordinary process of skin shedding,” and that this is “proved” by so many facts that he cannot understand how it could be “denied,” &c., but he does not prove it.
