3. That the appendices of children probably show a higher per- 

 centage of infection than those of adults. 



4. That the recurrent type of appendicitis is most frequently 

 associated with Oxyuris infection. 



5. That there is probably a clinical type of Oxyuris appendicitis. 



6. That the suppurative type of appendicitis has practically no

We have to record our indebtedness to the staff of the Aberdeen 

 Royal Infirmary, and of the Aberdeen Royal Hospital for Sick Children 

 for help given towards the collection of material for this investigation, 

 and also to Dr John Rennie for many valuable suggestions.
