In Calop- tenus the rings may be placed upon the spindle equator in either of the two posi- tions represented in Diagrams 1 and 2. This offers, pei'haps, an explanation and reconciliation of the contradictory views of Henking, Hertwig, Hacker, and others. As has been said, Henking holds that the first division is a reduction division, and the second an equation division, while most authors make the first an equation, and the second a reduction division. Henking ('91) did not, in his Pyrrhocoris paper, recognize the existence of Vierergruppen as a regular stage in maturation; but I feel justified by his Figure 20 in believing that they were really present in Pyrrhocoris, just as in Gryllotalpa, Caloptenus, etc. Xow, supposing the proper formula for the Vierergruppen to be \ i i \ i ^'^J might it not happen in dif- ferent nuclei, or in different chromatic groups of the same nucleus, that 1 Henking.
