Many of the areas that we found to have [Beta]-galactosidase activity are associated with phagocytic activity: the lymph glands release large numbers of phagocytic cells into the haemocoel through the prepupal stage (Rizki, 1978a); in the eye and antenna discs, localized programmed cell death, correlated with high concentrations of lysosomes (Murphy, 1974), occurs during morphogenesis (Nothiger, 1972; Poodry, 1980; Kankel et al.
