Animal parasitology, M. Ni:veu-Lemaire {Parasitologie unimale. I'aris: Societe 

 iV Editions ,Sc'unllli(jiu:^, lUO-.^, jijt. JK', fu/s. SS). — The author gives a dist-ussion of the 

 life history and habits of the Amccbw and other protozoa, as well as the various tape- 

 worms, trematodes, round worms, nates, myriapods, and insects which are known 

 to bi' constantly or occasionly parasitic in man. A large proportion of the species 

 which are considered are also parasitic in various domesticateil animals. 



Eleven miscellaneous papers on animal parasites, C. W. 8tii,es, A. H.v.ssall, 

 W. A. Fu-^NKLANO, and Louise Taylek ( U. S. Dept. Agr., Bureau, of Animal Indus- 

 try Bui. 35, pp. 61, pU. 5, fif/K. .3S). — This bulletin contains the following articles: 



Treatment of round wormn in lilieep, goats, and cattle ( pp. 7-14 ) .- — Previously noted from 

 another source (E. S. R., 13, p. 593). 



The disinfection of kennels, pens, and yards by fire (p]). 15-17) . — It l)eing known that 

 the burning of grass on the prairies is sufficient to disinfect pastures of {larasitic 

 nematodes, it is recommended that pens and yards in zoological parks be periodically 

 burned over at intervals of 10 to 30 days by means of a cyclone burner, such as was 

 used Vjy the gypsy-moth commissions of Massachusetts. 



Brief notes are also given on FAmeria stiedx; species of Pjimeriella; on various par- 

 asites; trematodes parasitic in the human eye; a case of vinegar nA infection in the 

 human bladder; a number of parasitic worms of oriental distribution, which may 

 possibly infest American soldiers in the Philippines; and spurious parasitism due to 

 partially digested bananas. 



The protozoa as parasites and pathogenic organisms, considered from a 

 biological standpoint, F. Doflein {Die Pvotozoen ah Parasiten and Krankheitser- 

 reger nach biologischcn (Jesichlspunkten dargestellt. Jena: Gustav Fischer, 1901, pp. 274, 

 figs. 220). — In this volume the author discusses the classification of protozoa, parasi- 

 tism, the influence of parasitism upon the parasites, and protozoa as parasites. The 

 greater part of the volume is occupied with a detailed discussion of special groups 

 and species of protozoa which are concerned in producing diseases of animals and 

 plants. Among the more important diseases which are discussed as due to the 

 presence of protozoa are tsetse-fly disease, dourine, surra disease, blood dysentery 

 of cattle, malaria of birds and of man, Texas fever, horse sickness, the pox disease 

 of carp, and silkworm disease. The vokime includes a discussion of a large number 

 of parasitic protozoa of less economic importance and gives details of the structure, 

 life history, and parasitic habits of all species concerned. Full bibliographical refer- 

 ences are given in connection with the different chapters. 



The Strongylidae in the fourth stomach of domesticated ruminants and the 

 stomach-\7orm diseases, W. Stodter {Die Strongyliden in dem Lahmagen der geziihmten 

 Wiederkduer and die Magenwurmseuche. Hamburg: A. Lefevre, 1901, pp. lOS, ph. 

 14). — This is an inaugural dissertation, and in it an attempt is made to give a syste- 

 matic monograph of the genus Htrongylus. The author recognizes 7 species of this 

 genus, viz, contortus, ostertagi, cnrticei, harkeri, retortwformis, oncophorus, and filicollis. 

 In addition to the species of Strongylus. the author discusses (Esophagostomum renu- 

 lo.vnn and Monadontus phlebotoinus. In a discussion of the systematic position of these 

 species 10 names are considered, j)art of which are reduced to synonyms of the 9 

 species which are believed to b(! well defined. Detailed notes are given on the 

 anatomical characters, life history, and injnriouseffects of each species. The prophy- 

 lactic; and therapeutic treatment usually recommended for the various species is 

 also discussed. Experiments were made on >S'. contortus, during which the conclu-
