 Tliere being, so far as I am aware, no other statistics with which to compare 

 these resoltc it is hardlj worth while, with so few cases, to express the average 

 percentage ot eosinofMes or to discxiss the rdative numbers of the other forms of 

 kooocyte. One point may. howev^-. be raised. It is often a diflBcult matter to say if 

 the whde of a guinea-worm has been extracted. 31ight the percentage of eodnophiles 

 be takai as a guide in snch cases ? I have not been able to follow out a case tkrough 

 all its stages, but the resuhs obtained seem rather suggestive, and if this be so 

 the differential leooocyte count would have a practical and useful bearing. It will be 

 seen that Case 3 and Case 4 gave a much higher percentage of ooarse-grained 

 eognofihifcy than did the case in IxHidon. Further observations are indicated to 

 dedde die usual amount of eoan<^diili^ which one mav expect to find in dracontiasis. 

 I am mneh inddited to Dr. J. B. Christopherson, Omdurman, and to Captain 

 Cunmiins and Sadek Efiendi, E.M.S.. for kiudlv placing suitable and unoomphcated 

 cases at mv disposal in the militarv bog^tals at Omdurman and Khartoum, and in 

 the PrisMi HospitaL Khartoum.
