"Modern German anatomists have established that the viviparous Aphides have no ovaries & reporduce by budding. They are :. no real [[symbol of two females]] according to their opinion" o.s.ms.
"It was the Dane Strenstrup who first suggested in 1842 that the reproduction of the Aphides was a form of alternate generation. Later Carns, Leydig, Siebold & principally Leuchart (in his pamphlet in 1858) have by direction come to the conclusion,  1st that the viviparous aphides are distinct from the oviparous [[symbol of two females]] 2nd that the development of the embryos in them belong to the class of phenomena called alternate generation, & that the viviparous aphides therefore are no true [[symbol of female and male]] but "Ammen" (neuters.) Both Leuchart & Seibold expressly state that this form of alternate generation has nothing in common with the parthenogenesis of bees; that the viviparous aphides have no true ovaries & no receptaculum seminis, which otherwise occur in all [[symbol for female]] insects & that the ovaries (eirstocke) are replaced in them by Keimstocke (keim = bud or embryo". o.s. note
