Extract

This paper deals with Glossina pallidipes, G. austeni and G. brevipalpis as they occur on the Kenya coast.

Temperature and saturation deficiency both exert a generally inverse effect on the activity and apparent density of both G. pallidipes and G. austeni. True density also varies inversely as the s.d.
