 Mennesket. [A new case of Hypoderma bovis on man.] — Entom. 

 Meddel., Copenhagen, xiii, no. 6, 1921, p. 297. 



A case is recorded of the larva of Hypoderma bovis infesting a boy 

 and causing a whitish swelling on the arm. The larva was removed 

 by means of a hot fomentation. 



Malaria Control at Savannah, Ga.—Pttb. Health Repts., Washington, 

 D.C., xxxvi, no. 14, 8th April 1921, pp. 705-706. 



During 1920 in and around the city of Savannah on an area of 

 25 square miles with a population of 100,000 persons, approximately 

 £10,000 (at par) was spent in anti-malaria operations. 



Some abandoned rice fields, owing to the neglect of dykes, tide 

 gates and ditches, and to their being flooded periodically, were prolific 

 breeding places of Anopheles quadrimaculatus and A. crucians. The 

 control work included the repairing of tide gates and dykes, and con- 

 struction of additional gates. Elsewhere, control by larvicidal fish, 

 draining and oiling were the measures adopted, with regular inspections 

 of likely breeding places. 



It was found that in the latter part of 1919 there were 5h times 

 as many cases of malaria as during a similar period in 1920 following 

 these operations. 



It was recommended that £6,000 should be spent in the extension 

 and maintenance of anti-malaria work in 1921.

 Steam Laundry Processes as a Means of Destroying Vermin.— 



Pi(b. Health Repts., Washington, D.C., xxxvi, no. 14, 8th April 

 1921, pp. 710-717. 



The experiments here described to determine whether the washing 

 of woollens by modern steam laundries completely destroys body 

 lice {Pediculus humanus var. corporis) have already been noted 

 [R.A.E., B, viii, 158].

The Sarcophagid, Wohlfahrtia vigil, Wlk. [R.A.E., B, ix, 1], is

 Japan. — Taiwan IgakukaiZasshi {Jl. Formosa Med. Soc.) no. 186, 

 28th April 1918, pr528. (Abstract in China Med. Jl., Shanghai, 

 XXXV, no. 2, March 1921, p. 177). 



Some description is given of an unnamed Anopheline mosquito, 

 recorded from Hokkaita, Japan, which is apparently new. It 

 resembles A . hyrcanus (sinejisis) and the Indian species, A . lindesayi.
