The common house fly (N"Sca do

tributed insects. and yet very little is
known Of its life history. Prof Pack

Study of Insects says: NO one has
traced the transformations of this fly in
this country He then proceeds tc

in regard to the form of the larva, but

early stages is meager and unsatis-

are being depopulated through the
tigers In 1882. the population of vii
lage in the southwest of the Bantam
province was removed and transferred to
an island off the coast in consequence OF
the trouble caused to the people by
tigers. These animals have now become
an intolerable pest in parts Of the same

600 900. and in 1887 sixty-one were killed
