M. Roubaiid, in commenting upon this paper, remarks that the 

 serpentine dermatose eruption described occurs apparently throughout 

 the tropical zone and is at first glance analogous with the creeping 

 myiases produced by Oestrid larvae. As, however, no parasite has 

 been discovered as the cause of the affection, the real nature of the 

 disease remains to be elucidated.

The case is recorded of infestation of a child of 3| years by a Sarcoptid 

 mite, the species in question being T ijroglijiilius siro, L.

A single female example of Anopheles plumh&us {nigripes)is recorded 

 from Bourg-la-Peine in the southern outskirts of Paris in September 

 1918. The individual in question was taken in a house, although this 

 species is reputed not to penetrate into habitations.

During a spell of cold weather in Macedonia from 4th to 12th Decem- 

 ber 1917, many mosquito larvae were observed embedded in the ice 

 covering stagnant water in Salonika and the surrounding country, 

 while numerous individuals could be seen in the unfrozen water 

 underneath. On 12th December after the cold had passed and thaw 

 set in, living larvae were collected from the same spots ; these 

 comprised Anopheles {Pgretopliorus) paleslinznsis, Theo., Culex 

 pipiens, L., and one larva of Vranoiaenia unguiculata, Edw. These 

 species can evidently hibernate in Macedonia in the larval form. It 

 is considered probable that JJ . unguiculala has been accidentally 

 imported into Macedonia but has not properly established itselc 

 there, in view of its extreme raritv in 1918.
