micrurus probably takes its first abode temporarily in earth worms, but 
afterwards lives free, &c.) Several guides to Trichinoscopy published 
in Germany by R. Long, Tiemann, Wolff, & Flitner. Maclagan 
(P. R. Soc. Edinb., 1873-74, pp. 378 & 379) attests that the grouse 
disease may be due to the exuberant presence of Strongylus pergracilis in 
the coeca (e. g., 4800 in one specimen) ; Tcenia calva is not the cause of the 
disease ; the worst cases occur when both parasites are plentiful. The 
contrary opinion, that the Strongylus is not the cause of the disease, is 
advocated by R. Farquharson, Burdon Sanderson, A. Wilson 
(Edinb. Med. Journ. pp. 223 & 911, Brit. Med. J. p. 683).
