Abstract
BY means of an X-ray technique1 a study of the passage of radiopaque foods through the intestine of the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria migratoriodes R. and F., and the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Forsk), has been made as a preliminary to work on the absorption of stomach poisons. Two observations of immediate interest are described here.
