Gerv.ais et van Beneden (1859), Davaine (1877), and Rayer 

 (1843) cite the reference as given. I have compared the 

 original and the citation is absolutely correct; there is no hint 

 in the abstract of any other author. The brief description 

 records an observation by the author of a worm in the orbit 

 and crossing the cornea of a slave girl in Monpox, brought 

 from Africa some years before. Yet according to Guyon 

 (1838) Clot-Bey says he has never been in America, and 

 Leuckart (1881), together virith later authors, declares the 

 citation incorrect, and all attribute the case to Roulin, by what 

 authority I have been unable to ascertain. It does not help 

 the case to read in Gu3'ot (1838) "Als ich mich im Jahr 1828 

 zu Monpox am Magdalenenfiusse in Neugranada befand, 

 fiihrte mich ein dort ansassiger franzosischer Apotheker zu 

 einer 25 bis 30 Jahr alten Negerin der schon erwachsen aus 

 Afrika heriiber transportirt worden war," etc.
