Abstract
IN 1957, in conjunction with Dr. Lewis Davies, I published a communication on the occurrence of large numbers of blood-sucking flies of the family Simuliidae in a light trap in Inverness-shire1. Trapping was continued for just over four years and a total of 17,500 flies belonging to ten species were captured. Some of the results of the work have since been discussed2,3.
