OX GARBLE (K ypoderma line at un DeVill.) 
R.'A. Muttkowski (April 19): Infestation with Hypodenra

larva of this bot emerged from a swelling on the boy's head, 
a little Dehind the ear and above the neck, leaving the character- 
istic puncture or hole in the middle of the swelling. The case 
was reported to me by Dr. Fairly of Oro^ino, who sent re the bot 
together with the case history. This was typical in every re- 
spect. The boy was brought to the physician's notice in late 
January, when he complained of axillary pains, stiffness, low 
fevers, and "shooting pains." The doctor found only a slight 
swelling at the time, located near the clavicle. This swelling 
roved upward and around the neck to the back of the head where 
it seemed to halt and grow larger. The physician suspected a 
tumor and was preparing to operate in a few days, when the mother 
noticed the appearance of a perforation in the middle of the 
swelling, followed by the emergence of the larva. This was in 
February, about the 14th.
