PAEASITES OF MAN.*

Although the twenty-four parasites already brought under the notice 

 of the Section may be fairly regarded as exhausting the hst of human 

 trematodes and cestodes, yet several other species of tapeworm have 

 from time to time been indicated on what are probably insufficient 

 grounds. In this doubtful category I place Weinland's Tania megaloon, 

 and also another tapeworm which Dr. Kansome concludes to exist from 

 the diagnostic evidence furnished by the finding and examination of 

 a particular form of cestode ovum. In Weinland's case both loose 

 proglottides and eggs were examined ; consequently the sti'obile may turn 

 out to represent a good species. Weinland figiu'es the ova (in Zoolog. 

 Garten Frank/., 1861, s. 118.) Eespecting a variety of manifestly spuiious 

 entozoa, such as Fredault's Trachelocamjjula and the like, I have nothing 

 to say. 



* Eead before the Microscopical Section of the Birmingham Natnral History 

 and Microscopical Society, June 18th, 1878. On Dr. Cobbold's behalf, Mr. Hughes 

 exhibited examples of Trichina spiralis, both in the sexually mature and larval 

 states (capsuled and free.) He also showed specimens of Tricliocephalus dispar and 

 T. a^nis, together with their ova. As regards haematozoa, specimens from human 

 blood, and also from the dog, were shown in contrast, from sUdes prepared and pre- 

 sented by Dr. Lewis, of Calcutta. A fnll-grown example of Filaria Bancrofti and 

 numerous larvse were also exhibited. These were from AustraUa.
