BEHAVIOR OF SPIDERS AND OTHER INSECTS 395 



to diseases have been published by Had wen (54), Hewitt (62), 

 Mc Shane (86), Mitzmain (90), and anonymously (1,2). Notes 

 on the malaria spreading mosquito have appeared by Carter 

 (22). Wheeler (125) has discussed ants and bees as bearers of 

 pathogenic micro-organisms. 



Locomotion. Zetek (130) found that the mosquito Anopheles 

 migrates from the marshes to town at dusk and from the town 

 to the marshes at dawn. Lloyd (77) says the wood-boring 

 caddis worms studied by him crawl with a jerky motion. Mann 

 (88) mentions a tick, found in the Sinaitic Peninsula and Arabia, 

 which travels after its host at the speed of a man. 



Longevity. Back and Pemberton (5, 6) discuss the duration 

 of life of the Mediterranean fruit-fly and of the melon-fly ; Girault 

 (48), of Adalia \S-punctata; Lyon (82), of the cat flea; Rau (100, 

 102), of the meal worm and of Dichromorpha viridis. 



Migrations. McAtee (83) describes a remarkable flight of 

 caddis flies and chironomids; Webster (123) mentions migrating 

 swarms of the milk- weed butterfly which he noticed at Ames, 

 Iowa, August 30 and at Waterman, Illinois, September 18, 1915. 



Memory. See Rau (101) and Sturtevant (116) under maternal 

 instincts. 



Barnard (11) noticed a butterfly attempt to feed from the 

 brightly colored eye of a peacock's feather on a man's hat.
