The question may be raised whether the larvae produced by artificial parthenogenesis can reach the mature stage.

The famous experiments of Loeb, Delage and others on artificial parthenogenesis may also be mentioned, though their connection with morphology is somewhat remote.

For this, if for no other reason, a brief consideration of the means of artificial parthenogenesis may be of interest to the student of evolution.

The facts of Artificial Parthenogenesis, as the chemical fertilisation of the egg is called, have, perhaps, some bearing on the problem of evolution.
