Tsetse-fly on the Panyame and Umsengaisi Rivers, at about 

 16° S. lat., 1882.— On p. 269 is a map entitled—" Routes 

 between the Umfule and the Zambesi, by F. C. Selous." 

 On this the interval between the Panyame and Umsengaisi 

 Rivers, on the 16th parallel S. lat., is marked — "A vast 

 plain, covered with mopani forests. Very dry and swarming 

 with Tsetse along the rivers, where game is also abundant." 



" Below the mountains [the range to the south of the 

 above plain, running due west from the Umvukwe ]\lts.] 

 the Tsetse-fly are in millions, and we are very much 

 annoyed by their incessant bites " (p. 270).

 Naturalist, Volume XVIII., pp. 1234-1244, Figs. 1-12). 



An abstract of Kraepelin's paper, " Zur Anatomie und 

 Physiologie des Riissels von Musca " [Cp. 82]. 



The author writes : — " Kraepelin's paper gives the 

 most complete account extant of the structure of an organ 

 which has excited interest since the time of Aristotle. His 

 investigations were chiefly on the proboscis of the Blow-fly 

 (M. vomitoria), and exclusively on its adult anatomy. The 

 embryology of these parts has not been attempted by 

 Kraepelin, baflled AVeismann, and remains yet to be worked 

 out. The following is an absti'act of Kraepelin's paper 

 with pen-and-ink copies of the more important of his 

 thirty-eight fine illustrations. I venture to add some 

 criticisms in the form of foot-notes."
