Since we dis- coyer its branches in the distal field of the wing, arising from the trunk of the radius, we conclude that the latter is the case. By this sort of reasoning we may arrive at the Comstock and Xeedham inter- pretation of the wing illustrated at A, fig. 25. From this it is eyident that the branches of both the radius and the media haye been bent back toward the posterior margin of the wing..
