Abstract
IN a letter to NATURE of Sept. 17, 1932, Dr. Hugo Fricke and Irwin Sizer state, in an account of their own radiographs of insects, that they could not find previous records of such radiographs. We made and published such radiographs five years ago1 2 3 chiefly with Deilephila euphorbiœ pupæ, when carrying out research work on metabolism during metamorphosis of insects. Particulars of the methods used, the results, and about seventy radiographs, can bo found in the papers referred to below.
