This is a comprehensive account of the circulatory system of all stages of Sialis lutaria L. The circulatory organs and pathways are described. In the larva an organ for circulating blood within the terminal segment is described. In the adult, blood vessels are described in the appendages and over the surface of the brain. Associated with these vessels are two types of accessory circulatory organs, pulsatile and valvular. The rates of heart beat, of circulation and pulsation of the scutellar organs are recorded.
