IX. Summary of Parasitological Investigations from Greenland. ' 145 
among the inhabitants of Greenland, but on looking through the material 
of intestinal worms (taken from people in Greenland) which belongs to the 
Zoological Museum of the University of Copenhagen, and on studying the 
literature upon the subject, it appears, that the following intestinal worms 
also may occur in home-born inhabitants of Greenland, viz. Ascaris mystax, 
Ascaris maritima? and Bothriocephalus cordatus. The occurrence of Ascaris 
lumbricoides and Tæniæ must still be regarded as doubtful. 
Excepting the Tubercle bacillus, which has been found by Dr. Fritz 
JORGENSEN, as well as myself, all the other above-mentioned bacteria (Staphylo- 
coccus pyogenes aureus & albus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Pneumococci or 
varieties of Pneumococci, Bact. coli commune, Proteus vulgaris, Hauser, 
bacteria of the mouth, etc.) have not previously been described as occurring 
in Greenland. 
Neither Achorion Schonleinii, nor ‘Trichophyton tonsurans” have pre- 
viously been found in Greenland. Moreover, I have been the first to demon- 
strate the presence of the following animal parasites in Greenland, viz. 
Sarcoptes scabiei, Psoroptes longirostris, and Bothriocephalus latus.
