bad, and not recognizable, as the larva shows large eyes, four pairs of 
legs alone the body and a forked tail. However it represents the 
larva of an insect. 
No. 5. M. F. Lochner. Disquisitio de vermibus cum w:ina 
excretis. s. l. et a. 4°. fig. 4. This work, quoted from Boehmer’s 
bibliography, is not known to me, nor to Rudolphi. Lochner was a 
physician in Nuremberg in 1690. I cannot find what Boehmer has 
copied from; perhaps the citation is one of the many blunders in 
Boehmer’s work.

seen only the translation. He gives, p. 264, a very reasonable ac- 
count of worms excreted with the urine; he quotes some cases re- 
lated by older authors, and inclines to believe them to be untrust- 
worthy. The pl. XIII (crinous hairworms, such as are excreted with 
the urine), taken from Etmueller, Ruysch and Leeuwenhock is want- 
ing in the copy.

32. A nobleman after a strong pain in the perinaeum dis- 
charged with the urine a large number of small bodies somewhat 
ovoid in shape and like grains, out of which developed small flies, 
fizured pl. 3, fig. 5. It isstated in the same place, that he had seen 
similar ones in the urine of a woman, and he believes that the larvae 
had entered the bladder from outside through the urethra. The 
figure is bad, but shows the chrysalis of a fly and the fly itself As 
there is an older edition from 1701 (Hope quotes 1, 54) perhaps_ 
the case related by LeClere is the same.

Two cases of insects voided by the urinary passage. The first case 
belongs to the intestinal worms (Strongylus), the second quotes an 
animal, probably an Oniscus, discharged by a lady. The short de- 
scription is very insufficient. Rudolphi says, probably the larva of an 
insect.
