In Diplax rubicundula (flavesc. wings [[symbol indicating male]]) foeces ejected [[underlined]] beneath [[/underlined]] inf. appendage & between that & the anal inferior  process.

[[strikethrough]] Oken's theory (adopted by [[Afalng?]]) that the pupa state represents crustacea [[symbol for "therefore"?]] head is conjoined with thorax = cephalothorax won't hold water because this is so only in Lepid. & Diptera (mostly?)so Latreille's theory that metathorax never bears spiracle in larva state, is founded upon an imperfect generalization viz. Lepid. larva & lamellicorus = other larvae (Hymenopt. & Elateridae) have it. [[/strikethrough]]

Jan 20 1864 Almost all my galls of Cynips q. inanis ^(15 or 16)^ when opened contained 8 or 9 chalcide larvae, & one found today on the tree contained the same.  A single one in jar contained a dead & very mouldy ([[symbol for female]]?) of C.q. inanis, as seen by the sculpture of thorax on washing off the mould. - on opening 30 or 40 galls of aciculata, found [[underlined]] one [[/underlined]] with precisely similar Chalcide larvae, clinging together, like the others, so as to form a round ball.  In these 30 or 40 galls found [[underlined]] nine [[/underlined]] aciculata [[strikethrough]] either[[/strikethough]] dead [[strikethrough]] or perfectly torpid [[/strikedthrough]] but not dried,

& two dead & dried.  Also several dead pupae, & some dead callimome pupae, ovipositor curved over back.
Also one spotted-winged chalcide, (body rufous & black,) in the imago.
