Still more does it display a contrast to the early larvae of starfishes and their allies, which are veritable precociously hatched embryos, comparable at most to those earliest stages in the development of insects that follow the segmentation of the egg. Study of a series of grubs belonging to different orders of insects, or even to members of the single order of beetles (Coleoptera), furnishes examples of lars^ae some of wliich N.
