 Red Harvest-mite. A widely-dispersed pest, abun- 

 dant in the Mississippi valley, where it is known as 

 the chigger, being confused in the popular mind with 

 the sandrlea or chigoe (Sarcopsylla penetrans, West- 

 wood), which it resembles in its burrowing habits and 

 serious effects. — Leucophrys coli, Stein (i860). See

Gemeiner Zungenwurm , Ger. An endo- 

 sitic acaridan with elongate, vermiform body, 

 led to its being classed as a worm. The 

 Kually-mature form inhabits the nasal cavities of 

 and other domestic animals, where the eggs 

 deposited. These become scattered on the grass 

 are eaten by herbivorous animals. The larval 

 encysted stages are found in the mesenteric 

 ids, liver and lungs of the goat, ox, horse, camel, 

 ep, deer, antelope, peccary, porcupine, rabbit, 

 lea-pig, brown rat, sometimes in man and accord- 

 to Creplin in the domestic cat. — Linguatula

 anthropophaga, Conil ; Macellaria hominivorax, Mac-

 Screw-worms. This fly is widely distributed over 

 America from Canada to the Argentina. It deposits 

 its eggs in the wounds of domestic animals and man, 

 and also in the natural cavities. These larvae cause 

 serious symptoms. It is said that in Paraguay foals 

 die in great numbers from the effects of larvae that 

 hatch from eggs deposited upon the navel before it has 

 dried up. The prompt application of a mixture of 

 pine-tar and grease to all raw surfaces, and about the 

 ears, eyes, and nostrils of animals is recommended. 

 Men should avoid sleeping in the open air unprotected 

 by some netting. The myiosis produced is known 

 as Peenash. — Lucilia sericata, Meigen. A fly com- 

 mon in Holland where the larvae produce a form of 

 myiosis called worm-sickness (worm-ziektej in young 

 sheep. — Lucilia serinata, Gerlach. See Lucilia feri-
