ABSTRACT IN NATURE of April 23, p. 599, there appears a letter from Dr. Sunder Lal Hora of the Indian Museum, Calcutta, on the subject of the mechanism of the so-called posterior sucker of


the Simulium larva, in which he describes the true method of progression of this remarkable larva. In the course of his remarks, Dr. Hora quotes a passage from Tonnoir (_Ann. Biol.


Lacustre_, 11, pp. 163-172; 1923) to the effect that this worker, “not finding any muscles inserted in the middle of the disc, doubted its utility as a true sucker and ascribed the function


of attachment to the hooks alone”. He then goes on to discuss Dr. Puri's well-known paper (_Parasitology_, 17, pp. 295–369; 1925). Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This
