The young, as noted by Dr Howard, are light brown and areremarkable in that the body becomes broader posteriorly. Life history and habits. This species, aside from being atropical form, is particularly interesting because of its viviparoushabits, most cockroaches producing large, characteristic ootheca. Itis a tropical form and the abundance of constantly warm houses,not to mention greenhouses, should render it comparativelyeasy for this species to maintain itself in our climate, particularlywhen reinforced by frequent importations as appears to be thecase at the present time. This or an allied form, according toMalcomb Burr, is occasionally found in Europe, being broughtfrom South Green cockroach, enlarged.(Original) _^ The lesfs and under- Bibliography 1890 Smith, J, B.

Dr Howards investigations showthat fuhy gSfo of the flies in houses are ordinary house flies. Afew others are associated with this dominant species. The stablefly, Stomoxys calcitrans Linn, may be rather abundantabout houses in the fall and is responsible for the persistent belief,tliat under certain conditions the house fly bites. Invariably
