It seems to be the rule, however, that "giantisrn" is the inevitable prelude to decadence, and we may notice that the larger the species the scarcer it is. This rule applies to all nature and all time, and it is per- haps no happy augury for those families, which according to a pro- fessor ln one of the U. S. A. Univer- sities, have increased in size and weight with three successive genera- tions oi students.

At the present day the largest two- winged fly known, s. species cf My- dss from Brazil, is a little over two inches long and has a wing-stretch oi 4% inches, this may be contrasted with one oi the Cecidcmyids which ls less than .02 oi an inch in length omitting the ‘ ac.

We must now revert to the q-zri- tion, "why waste time on these in- sects?" Up to the year 1896, the mos- quito was, by general consent, look- ed upon as a harmless though trou- blesome insect, but after twelve years oi intensive research it had become recognised as the only means of dis- semination oi such diseases as "ma- laria," yellow fever, and fllsriasis. The microscopic parasitic organism causing the disease, is taken into the insects stomach with the blood suck- ed from man infected subject: there it undergoes a sexual regeneration, penetrates the insectis structure till itreachasthssalivar! ‘ ‘ .whenos itiatransiemdtothancxtperacn whom the mosquito attacks.

and causing a‘ number of serious ‘ ,.' l diseases, the principal spec- ies, as far as we know, are nothing more than annoying, but the two species Anopheles punctipennis, and Stegomyia fascists, carriers respect- ively of malarial and yellow fever, have taken an immense toll oi hu- man life.

The Cecidomyids already referred to, are a fairly large group, embrac- ing among others, the notorious Hes- sian Fly, so destructive to the wheat crop in some, localities. Another genus (Miastor) deserves mention. Wagner, in i860, formed the larva (maggots) oi this insect living un- der the bark of trees. These mag- gots, from ovary-like organs, produce eggs which hatch within the body oi the parent, and the resulting mag- gots remain thcre, feeding on the tissue till it is all consumed. They then escape, increase in size, and produce another generation in the same remarkable manner. This pro- cess is several times repeated till the final brood pupates and the perfect fly is produced, from which eggs and a new series of agamic larvae in turn result. Perhaps no insect metamor- phosis is as interesting as this.

A large group oi calypteratc flies, centering round the family musidae, (whose type is the common house- fly, musca domestics), is found wher- ever man exists, and is specially hamiful to all animals, including man himself. We are’ sufficiently ac- quainted with the Bot-fly, seven species oi which inhabit, in their larval stage, the stomach and intes- tines oi the horse. Closely related are the warble-flies, whose grubs live under the skin oi the horse, ox, sheep, goat, buffalo, antelope, musk ox and reindeer. Others infect the nasal cavities oi the horse, sheep, camel-and briiialo. Species oi Cut- ercbra, known as the “emasculating flies" take up their abode us larvas in the scrotum oi the opossums and certain rodents. The eggs or young larvae of these insects, it is thought, are taken into the mouth of the ani- mal they infect, theme passing to the nasal sinuses or stomach, or through to the skin. Although, as Wililston says, the Cuterebra "may reach its adibing place by a more direct route." This group oi flies contain the worst pests with which the grazlcr has to deal.

In the family Musidae itself, the house-ily may be dismissed after briefly pointing out that typhoid fev- er and other diseases are known to be spread by its agency. To the same family belongs the “horn-ily" (Haematobla serrata), which, first coming into notice in 1877, has now extended its range all over North America. Another l-Iacmatobla trou- bles tho moose of the northern woods, and still another may be tire fly which is now giving concern in Australia as the "buffalo-fly," it be- ing supposed to be the same insect which plagues the buffalo of India. The dreaded "tsetse fly" of southern Africa. also belongs to this family; it transfers a. mlcroparasite ( a. “try- panoscme") by its bite, in tlic same manner as does the mosquito, so that certain regions arc rendered unin- habitable by domestic animals. The disease is not so fatal to the natlvo wild animals. “Sleeping Sickness, for Trypanosomlnsis) in man is also oc- casioned by the bite of this insect.

The blow-flies, blue-bottle’ and green-bottle flies, and the screw- wcrni flies, are only two well known over both North and South America. These deposit their eggs upon meat which in a very short time iii reduc- ed to a putrid mass swarming with disgusting maggots. Although we know them best in this connection, they will lay their eggs in the ulcers oi cattle, in wounds, and evcn- in the human nostrils, especially if at- tracted by a foetld breath. In the latter case, the larvae quickly pen- etrates within the nasal and frontal sinuses, producing fever and ulcera- tion, oitcn with fatal resclts. Myiasis, as this affection is called, is not very frequent in North America, but i_s not uncommon in the southern con- tinent. _

lastly may be_ noticed the family Anfliomyidaa, whose members are the worst enemies to garden vege- tables, that the agriculturist hsa_to contend against. The larvae cf these fiimbcreiutotherootsoicarrots, certain cruciisrs, as radishes, cab- bagss, cauliflower-s and turnips, and anothsrgqsua is in the same way destructive b tbs mien 08Gb.
