sliould be fumigated in special cages, one of which is described and 

 illustrated, the whole bird, except the head, being subjected to sulphur 

 fumes for 5 or 6 minutes. This should be sufficient to asphyxiate all 

 parasites present.

 den Menschen. [The Transmission of Horse Mange to Man.] —

WTiereas Sar copies scahiei communis is the only species of mite 

 involved in human mange, several other species also occur on animals. 

 In the latest text-books opinions vary as to the identity of the two 

 forms of mange and as to transmission from animals to man. 



As a result of investigations conducted since the end of the war, 

 the author states that transmission from horses to man occurs more 

 commonly than is supposed. It may take place through a chance 

 contact or through the medium of dust containing mites or their eggs. 

 The susceptibility of man to infestation varies in different individuals. 

 The incubation period is short, varying from 18 hours to a few days. 

 Most human cases recover in 2-8 weeks without special treatment 

 if they are removed from the horses forming the source of infestation. 

 Horses may be infested from human beings, but transmission from man 

 to man is of the rarest occurrence.

In the four villages forming the Modjowarno group a seasonal 

 malaria occurs from June to September. Anopheles {Myzomyia) 

 aconitus is the principal carrier concerned in the yearly epidemics ; 

 it appears from April to September. A. indefinitus is not thought 

 capable of starting an epidemic unaided, but can keep one going for 

 some time. In June and July all species caught as larvae were also 

 taken as adults, but not in the same proportion. In decreasing 

 frequency the larval catches were : A. barbirostris, A. aconitus, 

 A. indefinitus, A. fuliginosus, A. hyrcanus {sinensis), A. punctulatus, 

 A. kochi, and A. subpictus {rossi), whereas the order of adults in
