Extract

In a previous paper (1927) I have given a general account of Dipterous larvae and their parasites living in the wounds of a horse-chestnut tree standing on the Downing site, Cambridge. This tree contained two types of wounds: (1) a surface wound with sap exudation or slime-flux, and (2) a large hollow or reservoir filled with water.
