LIFE-CYCLE OF CERTAIN AUSTRALIAN BLOWFLIES. 39 
The stages previously determined for this large fly were 
only ascertained for the winter, and were recorded as larval 
feeding period 7 days, prepupal 7 to 8 days, and pupal as 
much as 7 weeks. The present contribution makes a distinct 
advance regarding our knowledge of the cycle of this species.
