Abstract
PROF. LABBÉ, in a series of recent papers (C.R. Acad. Sci., Paris, 1924, t. 178, p. 132, 594; t. 179, p. 928; 1924, Arch. Zool. Exp., t. 62, p. 401), has communicated the results of observations made on the Salines of Croisic, and the conclusions he draws there from as to the nature and stability of species would, if substantiated, seriously shake the foundations of systematic zoology. For example, he asserts that, from the eggs of a parent form Canthocamptus minutus, O.F.M. exposed in the ovisac to the influence of a high PH, he has obtained a mixed progeny consisting of: (a) C. minutus (typical). (b) ‘Allomorph’ Mesochra (Walterstarffia) blanchardi Rich. (c) ‘Allomorph’ Canthocamptus lucidulus Rehb. (d) ‘Allomorph’ Mesochra salina n. sp.
