Several haemotozoa have recently been described from the Edentates 

 of French Guiana, including Endotrypanum and a trypanosonie from 

 Choloepus didactylus, the two-toed sloth, a trypanosome and micro- 

 filaria from Tamandna tridactyla, and a microfilaria from Bradyp^is 

 tridactylus, the three-toed sloth. The last-named animal harbours in 

 its blood an endoglobular parasite, Theileria brinwnti, sp. n., and 

 upon it has been found a tick, AmblyGmma varium, Koch. Microfilaria 

 Icerandeli, Brim., has also been found in its blood and lungs.

Malaria was practically the sole disease from which the Balkan 

 army sufTered in 1916 during the months of July, August, September 

 and the first part of October. During the first period of the epidernic 

 in April, May and June, quinine was found to cure the disease in its 

 initial stage. In this paper charts are given showing the course of 

 the slight form of fever due to direct Anoplieline attacks. The more 

 severe forms are due to the reproduction in the blood of the parasite 

 introduced by the mosquito, the number and size of which are reduced, 

 however, by strong doses of quinine. 



The course of the various fevers, whether due to malaria alone, or 

 to intestinal or hepatic amoebic attack, is illustrated by means of 

 charts.

 of Malaria.]— ^n/l Soc. Path. Exot., Paris-, x, no. 3, 14th March 

 1917, pp. 208-216. 



The form of malaria from which the Balkan armies have suffered 

 at Salonica has proved so virulent and difficult of control by the 

 usual quinine treatment, that its identity with that of the usual 

 type has even been questioned. Some doctors have even experimented 

 with the use of arseno-benzol or similar arsenical compounds, 

 alleging that quinine was not sufficiently efficacious. The author, 

 however, considers that the fever at Salonica is of the usual type, 

 aggravated by the intensity of the alTection and the decreased 

 resistance, due to over-fatigue, among the troops. In cases that do 

 not yield to quinine there is probably an undiagnosed complication 

 due to the presence of hepatic haematozoa.

Experimental inoculations of the mule, dog, rabbit, rat, sheep 

 and goat with Trypanosoma marocanum, Serg., are described ; this 

 organism causes a disease among horses in Morocco and has only 

 been recently recognised. Of the experimental animals the rat was
