The data for both were similar, but were more extensive for D. t'irilis, and so these appear in Table I. When abdomens of adult hosts were examined under the compound micro- scope, abnormalities were evident in 17 (20 per cent) of the 84 abdomens that had been implanted with the anterior third of first instar donors. Only 1 abnormality was encountered among 87 abdomens that had received the posterior third of first instar larvae. The abnormalities were localized in the cuticle immediately overlying the implant; they were encountered only when the implant was superficial, never when it was deeply imbedded in the abdomen.
