The wings must be regarded as homolo-gous with the lamellar tracheal gills, for they do not only agree with them in origin, but also in their connection withtin- bn<ly, and in structure. In being limited to the second and third thoracicsegments they point to a reduction in the number of the tracheal gills. It isquite clear that we must suppose that the wings did not arise as such, but were(liVclnped from organs which had another function, such as the tracheal gills ;I mean to say that such a supposition is necessary, for we cannot imagine thatthe wings functioned as such in the lower stages of their development, andthat they could have been developed by having such a 1 On the transformations of the common house fly, by A.
