Abstract
The dissections of the local variety of Stomoxys, which from the subject of this Note, were made at the suggestion of Professor Minchin, during his direction of the Royal Society’s Commission on Sleeping in Entebbe, Uganda. The main object was to furnish some comparison between the internal anatomy of Stomoxys and that of Glossina, and the following notes are based on Professor Minchin’s description of Glossina palpalis . Complete digestion of the human trypanosome seems to occur in 48 hours, in the alimentary canal of Stomoxys; but Lieutenant Gray, R. A. M. C., has found a limited percentage of these Stomoxys to be infected with a Herpetomonas.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
