Panisret (M. L.). La Piroplasmose des Bovid6s.-Za Vie Agric. et 

 Rur., Paris, xv, no. 46, 15th November 1919, p. 366. 



The geographical distribution of piroplasmosis in France is very 

 little known, its occurrence being recorded mainly from Normandy 

 and the vicinity of Maubeuge. Remedial measures advocated include 

 the use of trypanblue in intravenous injections and the destruction 

 of ticks by means of arsenical dips.

. The methods advocated for freeing poultry from parasites include 

 treatment of the plumage v/ith kerosene or the use of a dip consisting 

 of potassium pentasulphide, 1 oz. to 2 pt. of water. This should be 

 lised at a temperature of about 85° F., the bird being immersed in it 

 with the exception of the head and subsequently placed on thick 

 bedding and sheltered from cold, draughts and the rays of the sim. 

 Parasites attacldng the eyes may be destroyed by bathing the parts 

 with boric lotion, a 3 per cent, solution of copper sulphate or the 

 apphcation twice daily of drops containing 1 part by weight of 

 silver nitrate in 400 of distilled water.

 of Tabanidae in the lower Everglades of Florida.— Proc. Entom. 

 Soc. Washington, D.C., xxi, no. 8, November 1919, pp. 186-198, 

 1 plate. 



It is probable that Tabanids are responsible for the polHnation of 

 the saw palmetto {Seronoa), as those palms on which the flies have been 

 observed have produced an unusually heavy crop of fruit. The males 

 of Tahanus lugubris, T. atmtus and T. lineola seem to feed more after 

 the leaves have been removed. The observations made during 1918- 

 1919 show that T. americanus and T. trijunctus are apparently restricted 

 to a definite season, viz.— February to June and March to April 

 respectively, whilst other species are active throughout the year. 

 A calendar of the seasonal activities of these flies for 1918-1919 is 

 appended.
