Extract

In following out the life-histories of some of the water-beetles I have been struck by the remarkable differences in habits and in structure between the members of a family, for instance, between Hydrophilus and Hydrobius, two fairly closely related genera of the Hydrophilidæ. The description of the life-history of Hydrophilus as given by Miger, Lyonnet, and others will, only to a small extent, apply to Hydrobius, although the suggestions which I am able to make with regard to certain facts in the life-history of the latter may throw light upon somewhat similar facts in the life-history of the former.
