sanguinis hominis, Lewis. — Filaria cystica, Ru- 

 dolphi. This was found by Schneider encysted in fishes 

 and identified by him as the larva of Eustrongylus 

 gigas, Diesing, though without sufficient reason, ac- 

 cording to Leuckart. — Filaria dermathemica, 

 O'Niel (1875) ; da Silva Aranjo (1875). This was 

 found as the cause of an endemic dermatosis of the 

 negroes of the west coast of Africa. Leuckart reports 

 an analogous disease among foxes, and Semmer in 

 horses. — Filaria dracunculus, Bremser (1819). See 

 Dracunculus medinensis, Cobbold (1864). — Filaria 

 equina, Abildgaard, Emil Blanchard. Syn., Gor- 

 dius equinus, Abildgaard ; Filaria equi, Gmelin ; 

 Filaria papulosa, Rudolphi (ex parte Allesandrini) ; 

 F. pelhuida, Kennedy ; Ascaris pellucida, Brown ; 

 Thelozia rhodesii, Desmarest (1828). This is found 

 in the thoracic cavity, peritoneum, muscles, men 

 inges, and eyes of the domestic horse and ass and 

 mule, and is frequent in Upper India and Bengal, 

 where it is known as sanp, or serpent in the eye. 

 Usually but one eye is affected, the worms swimming 

 about freely in the aqueous humor. — Filaria evansi, 

 Lewis. This was found in the dromedary by Griffith 

 Evans, the lame in the general circulation (resemb- 

 ling F. sanguinis hominis, Lewis), and the adults in 

 the lungs and mesentery. Filaria haematica, Gruby 

 and Delafond. See Filaria immitis, Leidy. — Filaria 

 "hsemorrhagica, Railliet. Syn., F. multipapiltosa, 

 Condamine and Drouilly. This was found as the 

 cause of cutaneous hemorrhage (hcemathydrosis) in 

 horses, especially those of Eastern origin, the steppe 

 breed, and white horses of Tartary. — Filaria he- 

 patica, Cobbold. This was found by Mather encysted 

 in the intestinal mucous membrane and biliary ducts 

 of a dog. Railliet considers it a larval form. — Filaria 

 hominis, Diesing (1851). — Filaria hominis bron- 

 chialis, Rudolphi (1819). See Filaria lymphatica, 

 Moquin-Tandon (i860). — Filaria hominis oris, 

 Leidy (1850). Leidy suggested the identity of this 

 worm with Dracunculus medinensis, Cobbold, in which 

 Leuckart agreed. Blanchard and others oppose this 

 view. It may, perhaps, be the Filaria lymphatica, 

 Moquin-Tandon. The single specimen was obtained 

 from the mouth of a child. — Filaria immitis, Leidy. 

 Syn., Filaria h&matica, Gruby and Delafond ; Filaria 

 canis cordis, Leidy ; Filaria papulosa hamatica, 

 Molin. This is found in the heart and blood-vessels 

 of the dog. It is very abundant in Chinese dogs, and 

 is also found in those of Europe, and North and 

 South America. The larvae are found in the dog -flea 

 (Pulex serraticeps, Gervais) and in the dog-louse ( Ti~i- 

 chodectes canis, De Geer, and Ha-matopinus pilifererus 

 Burmeister) , and by Manson in the mosquito ( Culex 

 mosquito). According to Manson, these insects infest 

 the drinking-water, from which the free-swimming 

 larvae are taken by dogs in drinking. Grassi disputes 

 this. — Filaria inermis, Grassi (1887). See Filaria con- 

 Junctizur, Addario — Filaria irritans , Rivolta. Syn., 

 Dermofilaria irritans, Rivolta. — Filaria labialis. 

 Pane (1864). A parasite found in a pustule on the 

 lip of a man in Naples ; perhaps it is identical with 

 Filaria lymphatica , Moquin-Tandon. — Filaria labio 

 or Filaria labiato-papilloso, Alessandrini. See 

 Filaria cervina, Dujardin. — Filaria lacrymalis, 

 Dubini (1850). See Dracunculus loa, Cobbold. — 

 Filaria lacrymalis, Gurlt (1831). Syn., Filaria des 

 Auges. This is found in the lacrymal duct and 

 beneath the eyelids of the domestic ox. Baillet 

 distinguishes it from the filaria of the horse {F. palpe- 

 bralis, Wilson) , than which it is more common. Its 

 origin is unknown. — Filaria lentis, Diesing (1F51), 

 Gervais, van Beneden, and Cobbold. Syn., Filaria
