Footnote 4:

The term which we proposed for this hypothetical ancestor of insects,
“Leptus-like” or “Leptiform,” was an unfortunate one, since the name
Leptus was originally given to the six-legged larva of a mite
(Trombidium), the origin of the mites and other Arachnida being
entirely different from that of the myriopods and insects.

Footnote 7:

Zoologische Anzeiger, Bd. xx, 1897, pp. 125 and 129. He also states
that Campodea resembles the myriopods, especially Geophilus, in the
primitive band at first lying on the surface of the yolk, and in the
absence of an amniotic cavity; also before hatching the abdomen is
pressed against the thorax, as in myriopods.

Footnote 8:

“Scolopendrella has very remarkable antennæ; they may be compared each
to a series of glass cups strung upon a delicate hyaline and
extensible rod of uniform thickness throughout; so that, like the body
of the creature, they shrink enormously when the animal is irritated
or thrown into alcohol, and they then possess scarcely two-thirds the
length they have in the fully extended condition, their cup-like
joints being drawn close together, one within the other. Peripatus,
Japyx, many (if not all) Homoptera, and the S. Asiatic relatives of
our common Glomeris have all more or less extensible antennæ.”

We may add, while correcting the proofs of this book, that the
important summary, by Uzel, of his work on the embryology of Campodea
appears in the Zoologischer Anzeiger for July 5, 1897. He observes
that the premandibular segment in the embryo is very distinct, and
that the two projections arising from it persist in the adult.
“Campodea is now the first example where these appendages are present
in the sexually mature insect and function as constituents of the
completed mouth parts. I propose for these hitherto overlooked
structures the name of intercalary lobes.” They each form a slightly
developed chitinous lobe covering a gap between the base of the labium
and the fused external lobe and palpus of the first maxillæ (which are
inclined near the labium) in place of the mandibles which have sunken
inward. Uzel also homologizes these appendages with two similar
projections (Höcker) observed in the embryo of Geophilus by Zograf to
be situated in front of the mandibles. Heymons has also detected this
segment in the embryo of Lepisma.

Footnote 13:

While these pages are still in type, we may add, in confirmation of
this view, that Uzel states, from his researches on the embryology of
Campodea, that the maxillary tergites of the embryo only slightly
share in building up the tergal region (occiput) of the head, but that
they form the genæ of the maxillary segments. (Zool. Anzeiger, July 5,
1897, p. 235.)

Footnote 14:

Miall and Denny in their work on the cockroach, in describing the
labium, remark: “The upper edge is applied to the occipital frame, but
is neither continuous with that structure nor articulated thereto. By
stripping off the labium upwards it may be seen that it is really
continuous with the chitinous integument of the neck” (p. 95). This
is, we think, a mistaken view, as proved by the embryology of the
Odonata and of Nematus. Our statements on this subject were first
published in part in 1871, and more fully in the third Report, U. S.
Ent. Commission, 1883, pp. 284, 285. We also stated that all the gular
region of the head probably represents the base of the primitive
second maxillæ.

Footnote 15:

After we had arrived at this conclusion, and written the above lines,
we received the Zoologischer Anzeiger for March 29, 1897, in which Dr.
N. Léon publishes the same view, stating that each side of the
submentum is the homologue of the cardo, and each side of the mentum
corresponds to the stipes of a single maxilla (p. 74).

Footnote 16:

Miall and Denny were the first to homologize the paraglossæ with the
galea and lacinia, showing the complete resemblance of the second
maxillæ to the first pair, remarking that “the homology of the labium
with the first pair of maxillæ is in no other insects so distinct as
in the Orthoptera.” We have also independently arrived at a similar
conclusion, but believe that the mentum corresponds to the first
maxillary cardo, and the palpifer to the first maxillary stipes, the
sclerite of each maxilla being fused to form the base of the labium,
_i.e._ the unpaired mentum and submentum.

Footnote 17:

Uzel states that what is regarded as the ligula of Campodea is formed
from the sternite of the first maxillary segment; while the two parts
regarded as paraglossæ grow out from the sternite of the mandibular
segment, and these three structures together he regards as the
hypopharynx. (Zool. Anzeiger, July 5, 1897, p. 234.)

In his account of his studies on the locomotion of insects, De Moor
states that he obtained the track of each of the feet in different
colors by coating them with different pigments; the insect, as it
moved, left its track on a strip of paper. (Archives de Biologie,
Liège, 1890.)

Footnote 23:

Carlet and also De Moor (1890) confirm Graber’s statement that in
beetles the first and last appendages on the same side are in contact
with the ground, while the middle one is raised. On the other side of
the body the middle appendage is on the ground and the first and last
one raised.

Footnote 32:

Pancritius, who also adopted Müller’s views, lays much stress on the
fact that in larvæ of some orders the tracheæ do not enter the
rudimentary wings until the end of larval life, and hence the wings
have not originated from tracheal gills, but were originally “perhaps
only protective covers for the body.”

Footnote 34:

Von Lendenfeld, however, points out the fact that Straus-Durckheim
proved that the wings of beetles are moved by a complicated system of
numerous muscles. “In the Lepidoptera I have never found less than six
muscles to each wing, as also in the Hymenoptera and Diptera.” “The
motions of the wings of Libellulidæ are the combined working of
numerous muscles and cords, and of a great number of chitinous pieces
connected by joints.”

Footnote 35:

Heymons, however, denies that the so-called cerci in Odonata are such,
and claims that they are the homologues of the “caudal processes”
(superior terminal appendages of Calvert), because they arise from the
tenth abdominal segment.

Footnote 39:

It has been suggested to us by A. A. Packard that the power possessed
by insects of transporting loads much heavier than themselves is
easily accounted for, when we consider that the muscles of the legs of
an insect the size of a house-fly (¼ inch long), and supporting a load
399 times its own weight, would be subjected to the same stress (per
square inch of cross-section) as they would be in a fly 100 inches
long of precisely similar shape, that carried only its own weight;
from the mechanical law that, while the weight of similar bodies
varies as the cube of the corresponding dimensions, the area of
cross-section of any part (such as a section of the muscles of the
leg) varies only as the square of the corresponding dimensions. In
short, the muscles of a fly carrying this great proportional weight
undergo no greater tension than would be exerted by a colossal insect
in walking.

Footnote 40:

This has been shown to be the case by Michels, who states that each
commissure is formed of three parallel bundles of elementary
nerve-fibres, which pass continuously from one end of the ventral or
nervous cord to the other. “The commissures take their origin neither
out of a central punctsubstanz (or marksubstanz), nor from the
peripheral ganglion-cells of the several ganglia, but are mere
continuations of the longitudinal fibres which decrease posteriorly in
thickness, and extend anteriorly through the commissures, forming the
œsophageal ring, to the brain.”

Footnote 41:

The following extract from Newton’s paper shows, however, that the
infra or subœsophageal ganglion, according to Faivre, has the power of
coördinating the movements of the body; still, it seems to us that the
brain is primarily concerned in the exercise of this power, as the
nerves from the subœsophageal ganglion supply only the mouth-parts.
“The physiological experiments of Faivre in 1857 (Ann. des Sci. Nat.
tom. viii, p. 245), upon the brain of Dyticus in relation to
locomotion, are of very considerable interest, showing, as they appear
to do, that the power of coördinating the movements of the body is
lodged in the infraœsophageal ganglion. And such being the case, both
the upper and lower pairs of ganglia ought to be regarded as forming
parts of the insect’s brain.”—Quart. Jour. Micr. Sc., 1879, p. 342.

Footnote 42:

The arthropod protocerebrum probably represents the annelid brain
(supraœsophageal ganglion). The antennal segment (deutocerebrum), with
the premandibular (intercalary) segment (tritocerebrum) originally
postoral, have, as Lankester suggests, in the Arthropoda moved forward
to join the primitive brain. See Wheeler, Journ. Morphology, Boston,
viii, p. 112.

Footnote 43:

Viallanes’ assertion that the instincts of the horse-flies and
dragon-flies are “lower” than those of the locusts, may, it seems to
us, well be questioned.
