Abstract
I POINTED out recently1 that my last brood of Armadillidium vulgare (Latr.), var. rufobrunneus Cllge., nearly all died. Of the previous brood, the result of a cross between a female of rufobrunneus and a male of Howard's type D, I obtained the following interesting result. A brood liberated on October 26 consisted of 40 female rufobrunneus and 27 males of type D. Most of the male specimens have been consumed by the females of rufobrunneus. I secured, however, three females impregnated by one of the males of type D, and from these I have obtained three broods. All the specimens appeared to be sickly and most of them died.
