Return of his patient to Old Calabar two j^ears previous marked 

 by immediate recurrence of her symptoms in aggravated 

 form. Itching behind the eyes and' swellings in the arms 

 were most prominent and said to be almost universal in 

 Gaboon. Return to England, but no relief. No embryos in 

 blood, excreta, saliva, or mucus.

This reference is given as above by Blanchard (1899) and 

 others. Guyon (1S64) says it is wrongly attributed to Clot- 

 Bey (q.v.) in the review where it was published. I can find 

 no trace of a similar article by Roulin in this volume or 

 elsewhere.

1902. Remarks on the Individuality of Filaria diurna. Jour. 

 Trop. Med., 5:381-84. 



Careful critique of Annett, Outton, and Elliott's view of the 

 identity of F. diurna and F. Bancrofti. Some difficulties due 

 to mixed infections, others to incomplete evidence. No other 

 embryo in West Africa which can belong to F. loa. Known 

 facts accord with probable life history as taken from other 

 species of filaria.
