will doubtless remain as races, the change will not be a radical one. 

 Two series exist, the lazarensis series, in which the male hypopygium 

 has the apical lobe of the side-piece well haired, and the impiger series, 

 in which it is nearly bare.

Various errors in classifica.tion occurring in papers by the present 

 authors and Dj^ar [R.A.E., B, ix, 72] are here corrected, and a new 

 table is given that includes all the known species of Goeldia, except 

 G. lineata, Lutz, and G. paranensis, Brethes, the position of which 

 is uncertain.

 Peste au Senegal. — C. R. Hebdoni. Acad. Sci., Paris, clxxiv, no. 6,

The shrew, Crocidura stampflii, forms a local reservoir of the virus 

 of plague at Dakar. It is found in nearly all native habitations, and 

 although chiefly insectivorous, it also feeds on refuse. The plague 

 flea, Xenopsylla {Pulex) cheopis, was found in abundance on these 

 animals. 



Previous records of this insectivore in connection with plague are 

 reviewed [cf. R.A.E., B, v, 98; vi, 11, 103],

 Many further experiments to determine the means of transmission 

 of tularaemia are described [R.A.E., B, ix, 188, 189]. The authors' 

 summary is as follows : — 



The common bed-bug, Cimex lectidarius, transmitted tularaemia 

 from infected to healthy mice in ten instances, in which the intervals
