The author's researches confirm the claim of Armbruster (1916) and Legewie (1922) that there are in certain Halicti three discrete broods and that the virgins produce both males and females; the males appearing in only one of the three broods. Prof. W. M. Wheeler (1933) concluded: "If Armbruster's and Legewie's interpretation is correct, then the Dzierzon rule has been 'shot to pieces'."' Translocation of Genes ? The discovery in 1954 by Clifford Beauglehole of a large colony of the bee, Halictus (Chloralictus) erythrurus "Ckll. at Gorae West, via Portland, Victoria, enabled the author to shed additional light on the genetical inheritance of these remarkable bees. The collector estimated that the colony contained over 1,000 shafts. Excavating portion of the sub-earthen colony at crucial intervals revealed three discrete generations similar to those of H. dimorphus Raym., but with one fundamental departure. There is a like vernal (September) brood of virgin females (Primarius), with green head and thorax, and apricot-coloured Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Royal Zoological Society of
