Abstract
1. 1. Water absorption, embryonic development and diapause have been studied in the eggs of five British Acrididae. 2. 2. The patterns of water absorption are compared, and I suggest that eggs develop and keep the ability to absorb water early in their development, but a temporary hindrance develops before diapause. 3. 3. This hindrance is probably not connected with the end of diapause, though both can be removed by chilling. 4. 4. The significance of this hindrance is unknown. 5. 5. I discuss the relevance of these results to Melanoplus differentialis.
