and sending small branches to them and to the labial salivary gland. In the labella
there are only a few very small trachea in the external walls.
The Mechanism of the Proboscis.
As has already been stated, Phi l œmat omyi ap o s s i b l y f e e d s b o t h o n d u n g a n d
on blood, and the structure and mechanism of its proboscis are adapted to both
these methods of feeding. So far as the first is concerned, there are no notable
differences between this fly and the house fly. The proboscis is extended chiefly
by the distension of the large air sacs in the rostrum, and by the contraction
of the extensor muscles of the haustellum. The oral lobes are distended by
blood, and the fluid sucked up the pseudo-tracheal channels. The mechanism
of extension can be readily demonstrated in a freshly-killed insect, in which the
proboscis is withdrawn, by laying it on a slide and compressing the front of the
head, above the lunule, with a pair of needles. The rostrum at once distends and
shoots out from the under surface of the head, and the haustellum straightens
itself on the rostrum. The labella are then erected, and can be seen to fill up
with a yellowish fluid, which pushes out the pseudo-tracheal membrane of the
oral surface, and renders the pseudo-trachea visible. That it is fluid and not air
which distends the oral lobes is readily shewn by continuing the pressure: the
tracheæ can then be ruptured, and small bubbles of air collect in the fluid in the
labella, floating to whichever surface happens to be uppermost. By further
pressure on the rostrum from above downwards one can sometimes rupture the
pseudo-tracheal membrane; the l abel l a then col l apse and a smal l drop of fl ui d
escapes.
The labella when extended for use are converted into a bag filled with fluid.
The upper portion of the bag, formed by the external walls, is stiffened by the
chitinous plates to give a certain amount of rigidity to the organ; the lower part,
limited by the flexible pseudo-tracheal membrane, is readily adapted to the surface
on which the fly is feeding, the pseudo-tracheal channels being kept intact by:the
chitinous rings, and opened out as the membrane is stretched.
The proboscis is withdrawn by the contraction of the retractor muscles in the
haustellum, and by the relaxation of the tension in the air sacs. The folding of
the labella on the haustellum appears to be brought about by the elasticity of the
membraneous walls, which, when the air sacs are no longer distended, and the
muscles in the labium relaxed, drives out the blood.
Before discussing the mechanism by which the insect obtains blood it is neces
-sary to consider the position of the labella, relative to the labium, in the open and
