On the Bugonia-Superstition of the Ancients

Abstract

LAST August, I published in the Bulletin Soc. Entomol. Italiana, 1893, p. 186-217, an article entitled β€œOn the Bugonia of the Ancients, and its relation to Eristalis tenax, a two-winged insect.” I desire to collect some more materials on that subject, in view of a second edition, and I would be very grateful to readers of NATURE who may be able to give me assistance in that matter.
