78 EXPERIMENT STATION RECORD. 



light of recent knowledge many important chapters have had to be entirely 

 rewritten, which has led to a considerable extension of the work. 



The clinical patholog-y of the blood of domesticated animals, S. H. Bur- 

 nett (Ithaca, N. Y., 190S, pp. XI-\-lo6, pis. .'/, figs. 2-J). — In this work chapters 

 are presented on the methods of examination, morphology of the formed ele- 

 ments, normal blood of the seAeral domesticated animals, variations in red cor- 

 puscles and hemoglobin, and influences affecting the leucocytes. Chapters are 

 also devoted to the special diseases of the blood, general and infectious diseases, 

 specific infectious diseases due to bacteria and fungi, infectious diseases due to 

 protozoa, diseases whose cause has not been definitely determined, and diseases 

 due to animal parasites. A bibliography is given at the end of each chapter. 



Leucocytes in invertebrates, M. Kollmann (Ann. Sci. Nat. Zool., 9. ser., 8 

 {1908), No. l-.'i, pp. 1-2^0, pis. 2, figs. 25; ahs. in Jour. Roy. Micros. Soc. [Lon- 

 (lon'\, 1909, No. 1, p. 33). — The author has made an elaborate study of the leu- 

 cocytes in representative types of invertebrates. He discusses the various 

 kinds and in particular the development and role of granulated leucocytes. 



Review of some of the recent advances in tropical medicine, hyg'iene, and 

 tropical veterinary science, with special reference to their possible bearing 

 on medical, sanitary, and veterinary work in the Anglo-Egyptian Soudan, 

 A. Balfour and R. G. Archibald {London, 1908, pp. 238; rer. in Jour. Compar. 

 Path, and Ther., 22 {1909), No. 1, p. 50). — This review has been written mainly 

 with the object of enabling the medical and veterinary officers stationed in the 

 Soudan to keep in touch with current literature, and especially with the more 

 recent advances in tropical medicine, hygiene, and veterinary science. The 

 subjects are dealt with in alphabetical order. 



Chemo-therapy of trypanosomiasis {Sleeping Sickness Bur. [London], Buls. 

 1, pp. -/-//.9; 2. pp. 86. 87). — In this review the treatment of trypanosomiasis in 

 man, the biological accommodation of trypanosomes to chemo-therapeutic agents 

 and the treatment of experimental animals are considered. It is concluded 

 that the use of atoxyl or any other trypanocide by itself has ceased to be justi- 

 fiable. The combinatory method has the advantage that each drug can be used 

 in doses much under those which are poisonous to the organism. Alternation 

 of trypanocidal agents avoids the habituation of the parasites to a single 

 remedy. 



A bibliographical list of more than 200 titles is appended. 



Notes on nagana and on some hematozoa observed during my travels, 

 H. E. Durham {Parasitology, 1 {1908), No. 3, pp. 227-235).— Home cases of 

 remarkable resistance to nagana infection are recorded. Although such birds 

 as pigeons are unable to harbor Trypanosoma hrucei, the kestrel is able to 

 do so. Attention is drawn to certain changes which are brought about by the 

 trypanosome infection and to the need for more precise chemical investigation 

 of these heniatozoal diseases. 



Sensibility of fowls to the trypanosome of dourine, W. L. Yakimoff and 

 Nina Kohl iCentU. Bait, [etc.], 1. Aht., Orig., 1,7 {1908), No. J,, pp. -'i83-.'iS6; 

 al)S. in Bui. Inst. Pasteur, 6 {1908), No. 23, p. 1032).— The authors injected 4 

 fowls. 2 subcutaneously and 2 intravenously, with blood from infected guinea 

 pigs. Only 1 of the 4 fowls was affected, this one having been inoculated 

 subcutaneously. Its blood was found to be infectious (for mice) 10 and 46 

 days after the inoculation. 



Trypanosomiasis and other diseases in camels, with experiments in con- 

 nection with the former, J. B. Cleland {Jour. Dept. Agr. West, .lust., 17 

 {1908), Nos. 5, pp. 829-839; 6, pp. 970-979). — This is a report of an investigation 

 of trypanosomes from camels. 500 of which had been imported into the north- 

 ern part of West Australia from Karachi, India. An account is given of the
