No. 12. William Henry, M. D. Edinburgh Medical and Surgical 
_ Journal, 1811, vir, 147. Casein which the larvae of an insect were 
voided in the urine. A robust man aged about 62, frequently void- 
ing gravel and once discharging a small calculus, complained of a 
stabbing pain about the neck of the bladder. Later he voided along 
with his urine the larvae of an insect, pretty closely resembling the 
common maggot. They were not only alive but vivacious, and besides 
those which were entire, the heads and bodies might be observed, de- 
tached from each other. Of the entire insects, he has frequently dis- 
charged three or four at once. Mr. J. L. Philips of Manchester ex- 
amined the larvae and found them to be coleopterous and much like 
Curculio nucum. ‘Three of the larve are figured of natural size and 
magnified ; they are coleopterous. 
In a note it is stated, that Dr. Monro, Jr., has met with a case 
precisely similar, and possesses specimens of the larvae in his 
museum. 
No. 13. T. Bateman, M. D. Edinburgh Med. Surg. Journal, 1811, 
vu, 41, pl. An account of the larvae of two species of insects 
discharged from the human body. The larvae figured are two 
Tenebrio molitor, two IHomalomya scalaris, and a third perhaps 
of the same species. The larvae were discharged from the bowels, 
but Dr. Bateman quotes in his excellent paper also the cases pub- 
lished of larvae discharged from the bladder and concludes, “ it must 
be acknowledged that the bladder is the least probable nidus for the 
larvae of winged insects.” 
No. 14. Leroux. Journal de Méd. Chir., Paris, 1806. A man 
suffering with nephralgia discharged with the urine larvae, which 
from the description belonged probably to Diptera. I was unable to 
compare this paper; it is quoted in E. F. Germar, Magaz. d. Entom., 
1818, 11, 418. A case is quoted in the same place from Howship, 
Tract. observ., on the disease of the urinary organs, London, 1816, 
8°, treating of larvae discharged from the bowels. In Germar’s Mag- 
-azin, I, 134, the case published by Mr. W. Henry is briefly referred 
to after a notice in Gottinger gelehrte Anzeigen, Novbr. 7, 1812, p. 
1779. The same artic.e is again reprinted by J. Gistel in Bayerische 
National Zeit., 1836, no. 199, p. 826.
