but in the list there is also an instance of its occurrence in a 

 valley quail, and quite recently (not included in the present 

 list) it has appeared among the pigeons. For a description 

 and fuller account of the various hosts, see special article in 

 this journal (p. 60). 



66. Spiroptera (?) iguana;, n. s. (Path. Hist., 1641), from 

 the lung of a Cuban iguana, Cyclura nubila (P. Z. G. Lab., 

 1127). For description, see special article in this journal 

 (p. 66). 



67. Dispharagus ardece, n. s. (Path. Hist., 1681), was met 

 in the alimentary canal of a blue heron, Ardea herodias (P. Z. 

 G. Lab., 1158). A single female specimen was found along 

 with a number of ascarides (Ascaris ardece, supra 34) and 

 fragments of Tcenia unUateralis (supra, 16). The entire lot 

 of material was submitted in one bottle, with the statement 

 that the worms were found in the proventricle, stomach, and 

 intestines of the bird, and it is impossible to fix the precise 

 habitat in the canal for the specimen here listed. For de- 

 scription, see special article in this journal (p. 67). 



68. Anguillula aceti (Path. Hist., 60). Dr. A. F. Coca, in 

 examining a specimen of human urine submitted to the labor- 

 atory for diagnostic purposes, met numerous examples of 

 anguillula? in the fluid; but, inasmuch as the urine was con- 

 tained in an old wine bottle, and subsequent specimens 

 from the same patient, collected and preserved under careful 

 precautions, showed none of the worms, it was assumed 

 that the examples first observed had been present in acetous 

 remnants in the bottle and were not to be regarded as one 

 of the occasional instances of parasitism by this worm in 

 the urinary or urogenital tract of man. 



B. ARTHROPODA. 



69. Larvae of Lucilia maccllaria, (Fabricius) (Path. Mus., 

 10), the common "screw-worms" of the South. The 

 specimens were removed from an ulcerous wound (in which
