found in the greatest numbers. Animals are always kept in close 

 proximity to houses as a precaution against thieves, but there are 

 such numbers of Anophelines that the protection they afford is 

 quite inadequate.

 la Tribu des Ceratopogoninae. — Arch. Inst. Pasteur Afr. Nord, 

 Algiers, i, no. 3, September 1921, pp. 262-268, 2 figs. 



This further contribution to the study of the Ceratopogoninae 

 {R.A.E., B, ix, 171] includes descriptions of the new species, Culicoides 

 langeroni, from southern Tunisia, and Holoconops mediterraneits, which 

 is abundant around Algiers and on the coast, and attacks man during 

 the hottest hours of the day. A key to the species of Holoconops is 

 given. Attention is called to the fact that the genus Acanthoconops, 

 Carter [R.A.E., B, ix, 133], including the two species, albipes, Meig. 

 {spinosipes, Kieff.) and spinosifrons, Cart., is a synonym of Styloconops, 

 Kieff. [R.A.E., B, 171] of which S. albipes is the type.

The conclusion is arrived at that Phlebotomus bedfordi, Newst., is 

 really a variety of P. minutus, Rond. The geographical distribution 

 of P. sergenti, Parr., is discussed and some anomalies noticed in the 

 genital armature of certain individuals of P. minutus, Rond., P. 

 papatasii. Scop., P.perniciosus, Newst., and P. minutus ? var. africanus, 

 Newst., are described.

In a previous paper [R.A.E., B, ix, 21] the authors proposed 

 dividing the genus Phlebotomus, Rond., into two subgenera. Further 

 investigation has led them to divide the genus into the following : 

 Prophlebotomus, subg. n., Phlebotomus, s. str., Brumptomyia, subg. n., 

 Lutzia and Sergentomyia. Keys, which must be regarded as pro- 

 visional, are given to these subgenera and to the species contained 

 in them.

The anti-malarial campaign of 1917 in the Balkans, described in a 

 previous paper [R.A.E., B, vi, 205], reahsed all expectations. In this 

 paper the organisation of the 1918 campaign, carried on along the 

 same lines, is reviewed.

 Vet., Brussels, Ixvi, no. 7, July 1921, pp. 305-311. 



Further observations confirm the theory that pathogenic trypano- 

 somes are transmitted in nature by flies other than Glossina [cf. R.A.E., 

 B, V, 12, etc.]. The occurrence of trypanosomiasis amongst cattle in 

 Ruanda, where tsetse-flies are absent, is recorded. The organism
