1. The rate of evaporation through the wax-free membranes of locust hind wing is higher in the membranes with the epicuticular waxes of high melting-point obtained from a variety of insects and laid down superficially in a definite thin film than those overcoated by waxes of low melting-point. 2. The velocity of petroleum oil to dissolve the epicuticular waxes in a thin film is higher in the softer than the harder ones. 3. The melting temperature of the epicuticular waxes seems to have little relation to the velocity of penetration of a pathogenic fungus through silkworm cuticle.
