BLOW-FLY larvae can only ingest liquid or semi-liquid food, since they have no teeth within the mouth. The present paper deals with the method by which these larvae obtain "liquefied" food from muscle. Guyenot (1907) suggested that blow-fly larvae feed on the liquefaction products of bacterial action. However, the investigations described here do not support this hypothesis. The contents of the fibres in raw meat are semi-liquid, and the feeding process appears to be largely mechanical. Predigestion of the structural elements of muscle may be necessary; if so, this can be accomplished by the larval excreta which have been found to digest proteins, including collagen, at an alkaline reaction (Hobson, 1931, 1931 a). The species of blow-fly larva used was Lucilia sericata Meig.
