Abstract
IN the extract from his Address to the Entomological Society, given in NATURE, February 29, Mr. Wallace remarks that Mr. Spencer's views have not been so much as once alluded to in the discussion of the Origin of Insects. The general question of the Annulosa obviously includes that of Insects, and I therefore desire to correct this statement, and to refer your readers to a paper by me on Chœtogaster and Æolosoma, published in the “Linnean Transactions,” vol. xxvi. (read Dec. 1867), in which I have more than alluded to Mr. Spencer's views, and have offered some suggestions on the morphology of the head, and as to the unisegmental Annulose ancestor. Mr. Wallace quotes from this paper in reference to Chœtogaster, though from the context it would appear that he is quoting from Professor Owen.
