Bamboo Hairs. — Dendrocalamus strictus Nees. We have met 

 with a case from Malaya in which the fine hairs shaved off the 

 bamboo sheaths were administered in food with the intent to kill. 

 They produced a severe form of enteritis very like chronic dysentery. 

 We are therefore in a position to confirm Ridley's earlier statements 

 that these hairs^act as mechanical irritants.
