Ilymenolepw nana. The cases of uncinariasis came from tlu‘ sand dis- 
tricts — namely, Barnwell Count}'; Florence, Saint John Countv; a 
sea-coast island near Charleston, and Edisto Island, Cluirleston (\)untv. 
Through the courtesy of Dr. Huger and the ladies in charge of the 
Charleston Orphan Asylum, I was able to examine 280 white children, 
both boys and girls. I picked out 20 for closer examination. b(‘c;iuse 
of the anemic condition, or stunted growth, etc. Of the fecal speci- 
mens obtained, 15 showed infection with Uncinaria n nirr/t-ima. All 
of the children came from sandy districts of the Stat(‘ — namely. Sum- 
meryille, Dorchester County; Berkeley County ; Adams Run. (Jolleton 
County; Blum Island, Charleston County, and McClellanyilh'. Charh‘s- 
ton County. One additional case failed to show eggs in the f(‘c(‘s, but 
the clinical history during early childhood seemed typical for uncina- 
riasis (see p. 58, case of L. B.). Of the 4 remaining cases (2 from 
Charleston (city) and 2 from Edgeville), 1 Charh^ston boy 11.1 yc^ars 
old and 1 Edgeville boy 11 yinii’s old showed infection with whip 
worms {Trichuris trichiura). 
Besides the Charleston physicians mentioned above, I am indebted 
to Dr. Grange Simons, president of the State board of health: Di-. d. 
Mercier Green, city health officer, and several other gentlemen, for 
their kind cooperation in my work. Dr. De Saussui'e stated to me 
that he had found the eggs of I nchwi^hi in the stools of seyc'ral 
patients.

Atlanta^ Fulton Learning incidentally that Drs. Claude A. 
Smith and II. F. Hari-is were continuing theii- studies on uncinariasis 
in Atlanta, I left the city without seeing any cases personally. No 
reason was apparent which made it necessary to confirm their work 
for this locality, and, furthermore, the territory belonged to them as 
local men who were carrying on theii’ investigations at their own 
expense. 
In connection with northern (b'orgia it may, however, be stat(‘d that 
according to Dr. Lamartine G. Hardman, a member of the ( b'orgia h‘g- 
islature, a condition exists in dackson (younty, Ga., which corrc’sponds 
to what I found in Kershaw and Lancastei’ counties. S. C.
