Abstract
IN a recent publication about the nervous control of dipteran flight, Wilson and Wyman1 confirmed and extended previous observations of the absence of phase relationship between the movements of the wings and the nervous input to the muscles of insects possessing a fibrillar flight-motor. Their records show, however, that an increase in wing-beat frequency is accompanied by an increase in the frequency of nervous stimulation to the power muscles. In a concluding sentence, Wilson and Wyman suggest that frequency control may operate in the regulation of parameters like direction of locomotion.
