L. Landacre.</span></p> - - -<p>While working on the Honey Bee in the laboratory at the University -it was observed that the number of hooks connecting the -posterior wing with the anterior was not constant.</p> - -<p>The query at once arose as to the amount of variation there -might be between different bees in the same hive and also between -different hives. Out of this grew a somewhat practical problem as -to whether the increase in number of hooks was associated with a -decrease in the size of the wing, or whether the increase in number -of hooks also implied an increase in size of wing.</p> - -<p>The wings of the bee are undoubtedly more efficient for being -closely attached to each other. The life of the workers is so -short, being only about three weeks, and their activity so great that -any increase in efficiency, especially in the organs of flight, must -have a very direct influence on the welfare of the whole swarm. -So far as the well being of the swarm depends upon nutritive processes -the efficiency of the hive is equal to the average efficiency of -the workers. Now, if the increase in number of hooks and the consequent, -firmer attachment of the wings is compensated for by a -smaller wing, there is much less opportunity for the operation of -natural selection on the individual bees than if the greater number -of hooks is always associated with a broader or longer wing.</p> - -<p>This selective process might occur either in the hive or between -hives. If it occurs in the hive it would increase the efficiency of the -hive somewhat; but if it occurs between hives it finally means the -elimination of the weaker hive and the consequent increased efficiency -of the species.</p> - -<p>In order to find out the real conditions, one of the students, Mr. -J. N. Frank, took twenty-five workers from each of four hives and -counted the number of hooks on each wing, right and left, and also -measured the width of the anterior and posterior wings on each side,<span class="pagenum" id="Page_120">[Pg 120]</span> -The width only was taken on account of the difficulty in finding a -good point at the base of the wing from which to measure the length. -The results are so uniform that the width probably gives sufficient -data from which to draw conclusions.</p> - -<p>Of the four hives studied, numbers one and two were very weak. -Number three was a strong hive which made forty (40) pounds of -extra honey in the summer of 1900. Number four was weaker than -number three and made only ten (10) pounds of extra honey.</p> - -<p>The complete measurements are too long to give in detail, and -the averages only will be offered here.</p> - - -<p class="center">AVERAGES OF TWENTY-FIVE MEASUREMENTS FOR EACH HIVE TAKEN -WITH AN EYE-PIECE MICROMETER, EXPRESSED IN MM.</p> - - -<p class="center">HIVE NUMBER ONE.</p> - - - -<table class="autotable"> -<tr> -<td class="tdcx bt bb br" colspan="2">Average Number of Hooks.</td> -<td class="tdcx bt bb" colspan="4">Average Width of Wing.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="tdcx br">Right wing.</td> -<td class="tdcx br">Left wing.</td> -<td class="tdcx br" colspan="2">Right wing.</td> -<td class="tdcx" colspan="2">Left wing.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="tdlx br"></td> -<td class="tdlx br"></td> -<td class="tdcx">Ant.</td> -<td class="tdcx br">Pos.</td> -<td class="tdcx">Ant.</td> -<td class="tdcx">Pos.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="tdcx br bb">21.3</td> -<td class="tdcx br bb">20.9</td> -<td class="tdcx bb">4.21</td> -<td class="tdcx br bb">3.61</td> -<td class="tdcx bb">4.28</td> -<td class="tdcx bb">3.55</td> -</tr> -</table> - -<p class="center">HIVE NUMBER TWO.</p> -<table class="autotable"> -<tr> -<td class="tdcx bt bb br" colspan="2">Average Number of Hooks.</td> -<td class="tdcx bt bb" colspan="4">Average Width of Wing.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="tdcx br">Right wing.</td> -<td class="tdcx br">Left wing.</td> -<td class="tdcx br" colspan="2">Right wing.</td> -<td class="tdcx" colspan="2">Left wing.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="tdlx br"></td> -<td class="tdlx br"></td> -<td class="tdcx">Ant.</td> -<td class="tdcx br">Pos.</td> -<td class="tdcx">Ant.</td> -<td class="tdcx">Pos.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="tdcx br bb">19.2</td> -<td class="tdcx br bb">18.8</td> -<td class="tdcx bb">4.14</td> -<td class="tdcx br bb">3.48</td> -<td class="tdcx bb">4.16</td> -<td class="tdcx bb">3.48</td> -</tr> -</table> - - -<p class="center">HIVE NUMBER THREE.</p> -<table class="autotable"> -<tr> -<td class="tdcx bt bb br" colspan="2">Average Number of Hooks.</td> -<td class="tdcx bt bb" colspan="4">Average Width of Wing.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="tdcx br">Right wing.</td> -<td class="tdcx br">Left wing.</td> -<td class="tdcx br" colspan="2">Right wing.</td> -<td class="tdcx" colspan="2">Left wing.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="tdlx br"></td> -<td class="tdlx br"></td> -<td class="tdcx">Ant.</td> -<td class="tdcx br">Pos.</td> -<td class="tdcx">Ant.</td> -<td class="tdcx">Pos.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="tdcx br bb">21.0</td> -<td class="tdcx br bb">21.0</td> -<td class="tdcx bb">4.06</td> -<td class="tdcx br bb">3.48</td> -<td class="tdcx bb">4.07</td> -<td class="tdcx bb">3.50</td> -</tr> -</table> - - -<p class="center">HIVE NUMBER FOUR.</p> -<table class="autotable"> -<tr> -<td class="tdcx bt bb br" colspan="2">Average Number of Hooks.</td> -<td class="tdcx bt bb" colspan="4">Average Width of Wing.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="tdcx br">Right wing.</td> -<td class="tdcx br">Left wing.</td> -<td class="tdcx br" colspan="2">Right wing.</td> -<td class="tdcx" colspan="2">Left wing.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="tdlx br"></td> -<td class="tdlx br"></td> -<td class="tdcx">Ant.</td> -<td class="tdcx br">Pos.</td> -<td class="tdcx">Ant.</td> -<td class="tdcx">Pos.</td> -</tr> -<tr> -<td class="tdcx br bb">19.6</td> -<td class="tdcx br bb">19.6</td> -<td class="tdcx bb">4.09</td> -<td class="tdcx br bb">3.47</td> -<td class="tdcx bb">4.03</td> -<td class="tdcx bb">3.41</td> -</tr> -</table> - -<p>As to the first query concerning the individual variations in a -single hive the complete table shows that No. 1 varies from 18-21 -hooks, No. 2 from 17-21, No. 3 from 18-23 and No. 4 from 17-21. The -right wing is taken as the standard, and the most active hive, No. 3. -shows the greatest individual variation. One bee in this hive had -only sixteen hooks, the remaining three being straight spines, showing -how the hooks have been modified from ordinary hairs. This<span class="pagenum" id="Page_121">[Pg 121]</span> -reversion occurred on three separate wings, in No. 2 one hook on -each wing being straight.</p> - -<p>As to the relation between the number of hooks and the width -of the wing the averages are very definite. Taking hives number -one and two from the same apiary, it will be seen that the increase -in number of hooks goes with the increase in width of wing. The -same relation is shown by hives numbers three and four from another -apiary in the case of the posterior portion of the right wing -and in both anterior and posterior portions of left wing.</p> - -<p>The results are not conclusive as to the relative efficiency of different -hives because there are so many conditions entering into the -production of large quantities of honey. The number of bees, the -care during the winter, the age of the queen, the number of swarms -produced, and several other factors would have to be taken into -consideration.</p> - -<p>The differences in the right and left wings in the bees of the -same hive is marked. The right wing has the larger number -of hooks, but the left wing is the broader. In hive number one the -average number of hooks in the right wing is 21.3, left 20.9; but the -anterior wing on the right side is 4.21 mm., while the left anterior -wing is 4.28; that is, there is a compensation for the reduced number -of hooks in the increased width of the wing. This is true of the first -three hives. In the fourth hive there is a slight advantage in favor -of the right wing.</p> - -<p>The following general conclusions may be drawn from these -measurements:</p> - -<p>(<em>a</em>) There is a variation in the number of hooks in a given hive -ranging between 17 and 23.</p> - -<p>(<em>b</em>) The difference in the number of hooks in the right and left -wing is compensated for in a given hive by the increased size of the -wing. The right and left wings are in physiological equilibrium.</p> - -<p>(<em>c</em>) In different hives the increase in the number of hooks is -accompanied by an increase in width of wing; that is, the variation -is emphasized so that selection would work much more effectively; -while in the individual, where—if selection operated on account of -this variation—it would have to be between different wings of the -same bee, the variation is eliminated.</p> - - -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<h2 class="nobreak" id="TWELVE_PLANTS_ADDITIONAL_TO_THE_OHIO_LIST">TWELVE PLANTS ADDITIONAL TO THE OHIO LIST.</h2> -</div> - -<p class="center"><span class="smcap">W.

Contrary to -popular opinion and to most of the published accounts this froth -does not issue as bubbles from the body of the insect, but is made -by pushing the tip of the abdomen up out of the froth and grasping, -with the anal appendages, a bubble of air and bringing it down and -releasing it within a liquid film. This liquid film is simply the excretion -from the alimentary canal of the sap which is imbibed by -these insects in large quantities. This copious liquid excretion is a -common occurrence in other families of the Homoptera. In the -Plant Lice (Aphidae) it gathers in drops and is called “Honey Dew.” -The Leaf Hoppers and Tree Hoppers expel a clear liquid with some -force.

On Pine, July 7,” that undoubtedly belong to -this species leaving little room to doubt the correctness of Fitch’s -determination.</p> - -<p>There are two species belonging to the <i lang="la" xml:lang="la">parallela</i> group occurring -in the Rocky Mountain region both found in the adult stage on pines. -Of one of these (<i lang="la" xml:lang="la">A. permutata</i>, Fig. 1, 2 and 3, Plate 10) larvae were -found in abundance on two different plants <i lang="la" xml:lang="la">Chrysopsis villosa</i> and -<i lang="la" xml:lang="la">Lupinus sp.</i> Both of these plants grow in clumps and it was always -down in the bases of these clumps, some of them often down below -the surface of the ground among the roots, that the larvae were -found. Often ten or fifteen would be found in a single clump their -united froth masses, held up by the coarse stems, reaching a diameter -of two inches or more.</p> - -<p>The larvae were found in these clumps from late in May until -the first week in July in the foot hills, and higher up in the -mountains they were just beginning to emerge July 20th. When -ready to emerge they climb up a stem during the night far enough -to free themselves from the froth and as soon as the sun strikes then -in the morning they burst their pupal skins and an hour later they -are ready to fly up to the pine trees where their color admirably -protects them.</p> - -<p>Although both these plants grow very commonly over a wide -extent of territory the <i lang="la" xml:lang="la">Aphrophora</i> larvae have never been found on -them except where they were within a short distance of a pine tree. -At first sight it would seem probable that the eggs were deposited -in the twigs of the pines, and that the young larvae dropped to the -ground, and from there sought out a food plant, as is the case in some -Cicadas. But as numerous larvae were found in positions practically -inaccessible to any such means of distribution—such as on the opposite -side of a sharp ledge of rocks, across a bramble thicket, or<span class="pagenum" id="Page_124">[Pg 124]</span> -even on plants growing in the crevices of bare rocks at a considerable -distance above any pines—it seemed nearly certain that the adults -must fly back to the plants to deposit their eggs.</p> - -<p>It will be interesting to discover whether a similar food habit -occurs in any of the Eastern members of the genus or whether this -is peculiar to the western species. It seems possible that original -pine-inhabiting species finding themselves unable to maintain their -froth masses in their exposed positions on pine branches in such a -dry atmosphere were compelled to seek moister conditions such as -are afforded by the shade and contact with the earth under these -bushy plants.</p> - -<div class="blockquot"> - -<p><span class="smcap">Explanation of Plate.</span>—Fig. 1. <i lang="la" xml:lang="la">Aphrophora permutata</i> Uhl.

The -fact that he gives two species, closely related and difficult to distinguish, -at the time the buds open (Salix nigra and S. amygdaloides), -as having involute and revolute vernations, led me to take -up the matter to see if a key for their identification from bud characters, -could be constructed.</p> - -<p>Not only did I find that they were not involute and revolute -respectively; but that they were neither involute nor revolute, but -both imbricate. On examining other species the same thing was -found. The only exceptions to the true imbricate vernation found -are represented in figures 3 and 4. The section Purpureae, on account -of its tendency to have opposite rather than alternate leaves, often -forms such decussate buds as are shown in figure 3. In Salix incana -Schrenk, a species whose leaves at maturity have revolute margins, -the leaves have a greater or less tendency to roll backwards in the -bud. The most extreme case found is shown in figure 4. Others -from the same twig could be shown where the leaves show -only the slightest tendency to be revolute. If we may consider that -<span class="pagenum" id="Page_125">[Pg 125]</span>this backward turning is merely a character of the mature leaf -manifesting itself in the bud it is evident that there is here no revolute -vernation but that it is really imbricate.</p> - -<div class="figcenter illowp100" id="i_125" style="max-width: 49.5em;"> - <img class="w100" src="images/i_125.jpg" alt=""> - <div class="caption">Salix buds</div> -</div> - -<p>The other buds examined vary from the form represented in -figure 1 where the whole interior of the bud is taken up with the -closely packed leaves, to that shown in figure 2 where there are a -few leaves with a great deal of wool.</p> - -<p>Species like Salix fragilis L. whose leaves are glabrous when -they unfold have buds like the former while species like Salix discolor -Muhl., with leaves excessively wooly when they unfold, are -like the latter.

As I had one made to order -and know by experience the valuable service it did me, I do not -hesitate to recommend it highly.

The botanist, therefore, -may go to such a druggist, procure two of the above cans, if -possible of heavy tin and with flat sides, have the tinsmith take off -their upper parts and solder the cans together, after having cut out -of each of them a rectangular piece as long and wide as necessary -to give room for a door and after having trimmed any inside edges. -The door is then made from the two pieces cut out, (or from a new -piece) with the addition of several strips of tin, so that it may overlap -and close tightly, and of the necessary hinges and hasp to open -and fasten the door. One of the original wire handles of the cans is -fastened in a similar manner as before on the top of the box and the -preserving box is ready for use, as soon as it had received two coatings -of asphaltum varnish inside and two of paint outside. Any -vessel of suitable size and containing water should then be put -into the box, which will furnish the moisture for the roots or the -lower ends of the plants and at the same time for the air surrounding -these. The dimensions of the box in question can easily be -determined by the botanist himself, but for those not wishing to do -so, I may be allowed to add, that the length of the box should be -about twenty-five inches, the original width of the cans remaining -unchanged. The door should commence at about three inches from -the bottom, reach up to two or two and one-half inches from the top -and have a width of six or six and one-half inches.</p> - -<p><em>Cleveland, Ohio.</em></p> -<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum" id="Page_129">[Pg 129]</span></p> - -<h2 class="nobreak" id="OHIO_TUMBLEWEEDS">OHIO TUMBLEWEEDS.</h2> -</div> - -<p class="center"><span class="smcap">John H.
