Extract

The biased nature of the catches of Glossina swynnertoni Aust. made on fly-rounds at Shinyanga, Tanganyika Territory, which show an unduly low proportion of females, nearly all of which are hungry, and lack of knowledge of the fly's habits when inactive, has led to a search for resting flies.

Previous recorded observations on resting tsetse flies are briefly reviewed. These show that the resting sites chosen differ according to species and even within a species. Differences of the second kind probably reflect seasonal changes.
