Flies were plentiful in the autumn of 1869, dis- 

 appearing with the first frost in September. C. grcenl. 

 appeared on 26th May 1870, when the temperature 

 first rose above freezing (max. +0-8°; min. — 4*3° R. 

 Afterwards, as the temperature rose to — 4-9° R., 

 Flies suddenly abounded, both the great Cal. grcenl. 

 and smaller Flies, on shipboard, on the mainland, and 

 up on the mountains. First Qgg found on June 7th, 

 and in the middle of the month carrion swarmed with 

 maggots.
