558 SUMMARY OF CURRENT RESEARCHES RELATING TO 



Myxosporidium of Trout.* — L. Leger gives a brief account of Ghloro- 

 myxum trnttce sp. n., occurring in the gall-bladder of Trutta fario L. at 

 Dauphine. It closely resembles G. fluviatile. The hosts suffer from 

 enteritis, the liver is discoloured, and the gall-bladder enormously dis- 

 tended. The fins and all clear parts of the skin turn yellow, there 

 is marked emaciation, and death usually results. The parasites, which 

 live free in the gall-bladder and its ducts, have been found only in sickly 

 trout.
