Note 42 — Part I. ON THE SEASONAL DIMORPHISM OF BUTTERFLIES. (continued 2)

Raphael Meldola translation

[In the case of monogoneutic species which, by artificial ‘forcing,’ have been made to give two generations in the year, it has generally been found that the reproductive system has been imperfectly developed in the second brood. A minute anatomical investigation of the sexual organs in the two broods of seasonally dimorphic insects would be of great interest, and might lead to important results. R.M.]
