second case numerous larvae of Chrysomyia maceJlaria were expelled 

 from the nose. The respective species were identified from adults 

 bred from the larvae.

This paper on amoebic dysentery is one of a series of monographs 

 on the diseases of armies in the field. The flies, Musca domestica and 

 Calliphora erythrocephala, are mentioned as being among the agents 

 disseminating this disease.

The introduction of numerous interned prisoners of war sufiering 

 from malaria led to the author being entrusted with the extension to 

 the whole of Switzerland of the Anopheline survey that he had 

 previously carried out in some districts, establishing the presence of 

 Anopheles maculipennis, A. bifurcatus and A. plumbeus (nigripes) [see 

 this Review, Ser. B, i, p. 40 ; iii, p. 224 ; v, p. 42]. To avoid delay 

 the two first-named only were included in this extended survey, 

 which was limited to pubhc waters, some of which moreover were 

 not examined as access to them was not possible for military reasons. 

 The presence of Anophelines and the presence or absence of local 

 conditions favourable to them are the points of practical importance 

 noted in this paper, which forms a very complete record for the entire 

 country.

This is a review of the additions made of recent years to our know- 

 ledge of the breeding-places of Anopheles. In many cases the question 

 of cost prohibits thorough anti-malarial drainage, and in others the 

 felling of forests, instead of reducing the number of these mosquitos, 

 results in their increase.
