Abstract

OF the hundreds of flies that are encountered daily, few are so well known as the blowflies. Everywhere they are known by their association with carrion. Were they specific in their choice of carrion as food, they would not be the subject of critical research of an army of highly qualified entomologists and veterinary officers scattered throughout the world. It is as a serious menace to sheep and to the wool and the meat industries that blowflies demand most careful study. What then has caused their attack upon live animals? Have they changed their habits? A negative answer to this question is but one of the many interesting and valuable contributions in a recent report on The Sheep Blowfly Problem in Australia edited by Dr. R. J. Tillyard and Dr. H. R. Seddon.
