Professor Riley gave some verbal notes on the above subject, covering substantially the facts in articles recently published in the Canadian Entomologist, and an editorial prepared for the first number of Volume V., Insect Life.† Both the Bean Weevil and the Pea Weevil were found to have temporary thoracis legs of a peculiar form in the post-embryonic larval state, and also certain prominent spines on the prothoracic shield. The eggs of the Bean Weevil in the field are not attached to the outside of the pod, as had hitherto been stated and believed, but are laid in masses within the pod, through an aperture made by the jaws.
