  preceding 
  volume, 
  as 
  for 
  example: 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  

   such 
  form 
  of 
  insect 
  as 
  'the 
  egg 
  larva; 
  ' 
  the 
  eggs 
  are 
  not 
  infinitesimal 
  in 
  

   size;' 
  they 
  are 
  not 
  placed 
  on 
  the 
  ground 
  with 
  fine 
  atoms 
  of 
  earth 
  

   intervening, 
  but 
  upon 
  the 
  leaves 
  of 
  the 
  tree; 
  the 
  grubs 
  do 
  not 
  descend 
  

   from 
  the 
  tree 
  and 
  hunt 
  out 
  the 
  eggs 
  in 
  the 
  soil 
  for 
  the 
  purpose 
  of 
  covering 
  

   them 
  with 
  a 
  protective 
  secretion, 
  and 
  afterwards 
  ascend 
  the 
  tree; 
  it 
  is 
  

   not 
  true 
  that 
  only 
  the 
  larva 
  that 
  hatch'out 
  late 
  in 
  the 
  season 
  become 
  

   beetles 
  ; 
  the 
  eggs 
  (on 
  the 
  leaves) 
  can 
  not 
  be 
  destroyed 
  by 
  treating 
  the 
  

   soil 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  trees; 
  bands 
  of 
  cotton 
  about 
  the 
  tree 
  trunks 
  could 
  

   not 
  serve 
  to 
  prevent 
  the 
  grubs 
  from 
  ascending.

  To 
  an 
  inquiry 
  if 
  the 
  warble-fly 
  of 
  England 
  is 
  identical 
  with 
  our 
  'buf- 
  

   falo-fly,' 
  and 
  when 
  it 
  first 
  appeared 
  in 
  England, 
  answer 
  is 
  made, 
  that 
  the 
  

   European 
  warble 
  -fly 
  is 
  Hypoderma 
  bovis 
  DeGeer, 
  while 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  

   United 
  States 
  is 
  Hypoderma 
  li?ieata 
  Villers. 
  The 
  European 
  species 
  was 
  

   named 
  about 
  150 
  years 
  ago, 
  and 
  our 
  species, 
  till 
  about 
  15 
  years 
  ago, 
  was 
  

   regarded 
  as 
  identical 
  with 
  it. 
  H. 
  lineata 
  is 
  known 
  to 
  attack 
  the 
  buffalo 
  

   in 
  the 
  west, 
  but 
  the 
  so 
  called 
  'buffalo-fly' 
  is 
  the 
  one 
  commonly 
  known 
  

   as 
  the 
  'horn-fly,'
