SARCOSPORIDIA 117 



(3) Kartulis observed Miescher's cylinders of various sizes in 

 the liver (?) and in the muscular system, but not in the fibres of 

 a Soudanese who had succumbed to multiple abscesses of the liver 

 and abdominal muscles. This may be considered as the first actual 

 case of the occurrence of sarcosporidia in man (Kartulis, Ueb. 

 pathog. Protoz. b. Menschen, in Ztschr. f. Hyg. u. Inf., 1893, xiii., 

 p. i. Compare also Braun, M., Die Thier. Par. d. Mensch., 2nd 

 Edit., Wrzbg., 1895, p. 92. Braun, M., Z. York. d. Sarcosp., b. 

 Menschen, in C. /. B. P., 1895, xviii., p. 13). 



(4) The case reported by Baraban and St. Remy (" Sur un 

 cas de tub. psorosp. ob. chez rhomme" in C. R. soc. biol., Paris, 

 1894 (x.), I., p. 201. " Le parasitisme d. Sarcosp. chez rhomme" 

 in Bibliogr. anat., 1894, p. 79), was at once demonstrated as 

 certain. It related to a man who had been executed, and in 

 the laryngeal muscles of whom Sarcosporidia were found ; the 

 length of the parasites fluctuated between 0*150 and 1*6 mm., 

 their breadth between 0*077 an d 0*168 mm. 'The affected mus- 

 cular fibres were distended to four times their normal thickness.
