From varied experiments and observations upon tlie eyeless larvae of 
Zucilia c(Bsar and Eristalis tenax, the author concludes that they not only 
perceive light, but immediately appreciate its intensity and the direction in 
which it comes, that this sensibility is not by means of the antenniferous 
organs, and that it is only completely developed when the larvaj are full- 
grown. The name actince&theda is proposed for this sense. The plates are 
reproductions of the actual movements of the larvae under the influence of 
light of various natures.
