Book Description

Excerpt from The Entomologist, 1895, Vol. 28: An Illustrated Journal of General Entomology Messrs. Porritt and Tugwell have reared two broods (or at any rate a partial second brood) of radiata in one season, and this fact is thought by some entomologists evidence sufficient to warrant their refusing to believe in the genuineness of radiata as a British form. Personally I do not attach much importance to radiata being occasionally double-brooded, as it seems to me to be merely a question of forcing. I am not aware that two broods have been produced in one season under other than artificial conditions. So far as I know, there is no record of lubricipeda being double-brooded; and Mr. Jackson, of York, informs me that he has never, in his long experience of the species (extending over thirty years), known it to be so, even in a single instance, under natural conditions.
