It must, however, be borne in mind, that in these pupaethe Umbs have not yet acquired their full size, and the abdo-men is not yet reduced to the size which it will possess inthe imago state. Pupae are ordinarily of an elongated oval form, the thick-est part being towards the head; the body is generallysmooth, but in some instances various spines or hairs are tobe observed upon various parts of the body ; and others, espe-cially the chrysalides of butterflies, are angulated. In someaquatic pupae, as in the midges, forming the genus Chlrono-mus, the back of the front part of the thorax is furnishedwith exserted breathing organs. The structm*e of the ter-minal segment of the body is also vaiiable ; one of the mostremarkable variations occurs in some of the butterflies, inwdiich this part
