of long branched tufts; anal gills moderate, about as long as the segment, 

 bluntly pointed. 



Theobald quotes Dr. Grabham as saying that the larvae will live in any stag- 

 nant water, and will flourish in an infusion of decaying animal matter. The 

 adult is found most abundantly in March, April, and May, and is an ardent 

 bloodsucker. The egg is described as follows : " Upper surface broad. Fringe 

 is well developed at each end, represented by a beaded line at the attachment of 

 the floats. Lower surface with roughly hexagonal depressions. Floats occupy 

 middle half of ovum, and are widely separated below. The egg is rather longer 

 and narrower than that of Cellia alhipes. A captive female will readily lay eggs, 

 depositing about fifty at a time. These are arranged side by side or in radiat- 

 ing groups of three or more together at the edge of the water. This stage lasts 

 forty-eight hours." Mr. Busck found the larvae in pools in a dried stream-bed, 

 in large holes in coral rock and in a slowly running spring frequented by swine.
