XVIII. PROTOZOA. 
On the date of publication of Costa’s memoir on the Foramiuifera of 
Messina,—which is fixed as 1857, Fornasini (125). 
Costa’s part of the “ Fauna del Regno di Napoli,” containing the Fora- 
minifera was published from 1838-1853. It is uncertain whether two 
other works of C. “ Foraminiferi fossili della mama blu del Yaticano” and 
“Foraminiferi fossili della mama terziarie di Messina” were published in 
1855 or 1857, Fornasini (128). 
Date of Costa’s “ Palseontologia del Regno di Napoli” was 1856, 
Fornasini (129). 
A new terminology for the various stages in the life-cycle of the 
malarial parasite, Lankester (187). 
Good bibliography on Surra and allied Trypanosomatic diseases, Salmon 
& Stiles (329). 
Boyce, Ross, & Sherrington (37), Forde (115b) and various Students 
of the Lond. Sell. Trop. Med. (Lancet ii, 1902, p. 1487, B. M. J. ii, 1902, 
p. 1741) engage in an undignified altercation as to who is entitled to the 
credit of first discovering a Trypanosome in human blood. Sambon (329a) 
shews that neither Dutton nor Forde can claim the honour, Xepveu 
(Zool. Rec. 1898, No. 155) having described several cases of human 
trypanosomosis which had come under his notice between 1890 and 1898, 
and in (272a) Nepveu himself points this out.
