the protection ol the stigmata against damage, but also 
the production of a globule of air as reserve for the 
developing fly. 
The anterior end shows clearly the sculpture and 
the hooks of the larval head and the forms of protho- 
racic stigmata are to be seen as glove-like processes 
The mouth parts of the third larval stage — 
fig. 5 a. (contained in the puparium) are more stout 
and broader than those of the related falculata Pand. 
— fig. 5 b. ol which I had pupae bred from the 
carcass of a bat. The hooks of the cephalo-pharyngeai 
sceleton figured by Folg ( 5 ) for falculata are not quite 
correct, so that I figure them again in the same size 
as those of braunsi. 
In the posterior stigmata the difference between 
the two species is marked by the form of the arcade 
next to the median line of body, which is much more 
curved in braunsi than in falculata. The anal papillae, 
processes so characteristic for each Sarcophaga larva, 
are in braunsi two plastic spirals situated on each 
side of the median line of bodv. 
One of the two puparia at my disposal contained 
a nearly developed fly ; both were reared by 
Dr. Brauns from rotten eggs to which the parent fly 
was attracted.
