Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Anatomy, Physiology, Morphology and Development of the Blow-Fly (Calliphora Erythrocephala) A Study in the Comparative Anatomy and Morphology of Insects, Vol. 1
IN 1870 I published a small treatise on the Anatomy of the blow-fly.' This has now been out of print for nearly ten years. In 1890, when I undertook the present work, a book of about 300 pages was contemplated since then, however, it has grown to more than twice that size, and it has been found necessary to divide it into two volumes. The present volume deals with the subject generally - with the anatomy of the larva and the development of the embryo in the egg and of the nymph in the pupa, as well as with the external skeleton and histology of the perfect insect. The second volume will consist of a detailed description of the various internal organs, their development and physiology. The issue of the parts of this volume has been unavoidably delayed. The introduction and the first four chapters appeared in October, 1890, the fifth chapter in April, 1891, and the remainder in April, 1892.
