B. On Cadavers or in Graves.—Many insects are attracted to dead human bodies. The lay conception that the dead are consumed by worms” is based upon the fact that wormlike larvae of insects feed upon the dead. As a matter of experience, true |11 worms are rarely reported either in exposed cadavers or in graves. The question as to the presence of free living |331 nematodes in cadavers has, however, not yet been investigated. Megnin 5 (1895) has turned the presence of these insects to “medico¬ legal” account (zoological jurisprudence 6), in case of murders. On basis of the kinds of insects present, he estimates the length of time a body has been dead and thus obtains a possible clew in certain cases of murder. American authors, notably Motter (1898a) and Johnston & Villeneuve (1897a), studying chiefly the insects in graves, have not been able to confirm the medico-legal6 (i. e., zoo-legal6) value of 5 Megnin, 1895, La Faune des Cadavres. Paris. 214 pp., 28 figs. Motter, 1898a, A Contribution to the Study of the Fauna of the Grave [etc.]<J. N. Y. Ent. Soc., v. 6 (4), 201-231. J Johnston (Wyatt) & Villeneuve (George), 1897a, On the medico-legal application of entomology<Mont¬ real M. J., v. 26 (2), Aug., pp. 81-90, figs. 1-3. 6 The terms “medico-legal” and “medical jurisprudence” are in more or less general use, but in their roader application they are misnomers. Numerous instances so classified have nothing whatever to do J)1 y^mcme but are zoological in nature. The substantive expression “zoological jurisprudence” and e a jec lval term zoo-legal” (contracted for euphony from “zoologo-legal”) are much more exact in very many instances.
