A somewhat extended account of the life history and habits of the house fly. The opinion

 which might produce pathogenic germs, though attention is called to the probability of flies 

 carrying cholera and gangrene.

Flies are considered as scavengers not conveyers of cholera. -A.n outbreak of disease 

 occurred in a native regiment and on each occasion after leaving an old camp for a new, a 

 j.ecrudescence occurred. This was attributed to leaving flies behind; when they followed 

 j^nd mustered in force the disease abated.

Gives details respecting a cholera outbreak in a jail, stating that all prisoners affected fed 

 in the corner of the jail near infected hxits, whereas those eating in the opposite hospital 

 corner, diagonally across, escaped the malady. This data was considered sufficient to 

 indicate the fly as a very probable carrier of the contagion.
