Ttese parasites have never been found in the blood streanx and appear 

 to be found always in the subcutaneous cellular tissue.

no. 7, 9th July 1919, pp. 464-473, 5 figs. 

 The parasite causing coast erysipelas in CTuateniala is described' 

 as Onchocerca caecutiens, sp.. n. A comparison is made between it and 

 0. volvulus, Lenck., from which it is separated chiefly on the strength of; 

 biological characters, details of which are given in a table,

 obtenus en Culture pure et en particulier sur Crithidia mehphagi, 

 —C.R. hebdom. Acad. Sci., Paris, clxix, no. 4, 28th Julv 1919, pp. 

 153-155. 



Experiments made to obtain pure cultures of flagellates fron:H 

 insects and to determine their pathogenicity when injected into mam- 

 mals are described. For this purpose the follomng- species were- 

 used : Herpetotnonas ctenopsyllae, a parasite of the mouse flea, 

 Ctenopsylla musculi ; Herpetomonas ctenocephali, a parasite of the 

 dog flea, Ctenocephalus canis ; and Crithidia melophagi from Melojohagxs^ 

 ovimis, the Hippoboscid fly infesting- sheep. This paper deals chiefly 

 with the last-named species. Details of the technique employed are 

 given. Of six young white mice inoculated tAvice with C. melophagi in 

 the peritoneum y with several days interval, four remained healthy and 

 the others were killed on the 9th and 12th day after the first inoculation, 

 as death seemed to be imminent. The blood examination revealed 

 free parasites. Leishmania organisms were found in the blood, 

 liver and spleen of one and in the liver of the other, these organs in 

 both animals being- greatly enlarged.

 England, of Anopheles plumbeus, Hal., with Plasmodium vivax. 

 (Sporozoites in Salivary Glands.) Preliminary Note. — Ann. Trop^ 

 Med. Parasit., Liverpool, xiii, no. 2, 31st July 1919, pp. 187-188. 



Specimens of Anopheles plumbeus, HaL, were fed on a patient 

 suffering from simple tertian malaria and showing moderate infection 

 of trophozoites and gametes. After the infective feed the mosquitos 

 were fed on raisins and kept in an incubator in glass globes at a 

 temperature of about 28° C- Three died between the third and 

 fifth day after the feed, but no infection was apparent. The fourth 

 which died on the 8th day showed the presence of oocysts in the gat in 

 an advanced state of development. The other two were killed on 

 the eleventh and thirteenth days, respectively, when infections of 

 gut and salivary glands were found.

A Nematode, Filaria pertenue, sp. n., is described, which was 

 dissected from a tumour on a duyker, Cephalophus sylvicultor, in 

 the Belgian Congo. Nothing at all is known regarding the mode 

 of transmission. The anatomical lesions produced are described.
