  possess 
  a

  rai'e 
  tract

  From 
  the 
  figures 
  appended 
  to 
  the 
  memoir 
  it 
  is 
  evident 
  

   that 
  the 
  larvae 
  are 
  not 
  those 
  of 
  an 
  CEstrus, 
  but 
  those 
  of 
  a 
  species 
  of 
  Muscidae, 
  similar 
  

   to 
  the 
  specimen 
  exhibited 
  by
