since they would be least likely to reach the mouth from such loca- 
tion. 
It may be addtd that GasterophUus has no incubating uterus, 
but that the large ovaries are packed with eggs which come down 
a few at a time for deposition. The eggs of the above nasalis 
female show no incubation, and the chorion is transversely corru- 
gated so that it holds on insertion in the skin. All the records of 
lip and muzzle oviposition of this species that I have seen state 
that the eggs are attached to the hairs. This might easily happen 
when the fiy misses its mark, and no doubt it misses frequently, 
but the effort is evidently directed at the tender skin of the lips. 
The eggs are sticky when freshly extruded, and the fly may even, 
at times, inadvertently leave them on the hairs of the throat when 
caught by the convulsive movements of the intended host. This 
would explain throat oviposition records.
