tirst. 1^'igure 7 represents one of these parasites bent up prepar- 
atory to tlie process of roiinding iip and figure 8 shews this 
cliange completed but it will be noted the flagellum is still pré¬ 
sent. I am not able to say yet what stage this represents and this 
can only be foiind ont by carrying out the methods of experi¬ 
mental infection wliich I hâve recorded in the case of Hcrpeto- 
moncis viiiscae domesticac. 
h'rom this short description it will be gathered that this para¬ 
site is clearly a flagellate but modified perhaps on acccjunt of its 
peculiar habitat, the malpighian tube, the calibre of which is 
very much smaller than that of the alimentary tract. The para¬ 
site at once shews that it is allied to the Crithidia and more espec- 
ially to the Trypanosoma in that the blepharoplast always lies 
posterior to the nucléus ; it however differs from these forms as 
the flagellum is entirely limitée! in the adult stage to a small part 
of the body of the parasite and has no free portion. 
As far as 1 am aware this flagellate has not been previously 
rex'orded and I therefore propose creating for it a new genus, 
Rhynchomonas (rhynchus : a snout) a name which I think well 
explains its peculiar snout-like anterior end. I he)pe sometime later 
to study this parasite in Lucilïa serenissirna bred and infected in 
the laboratory. 
M. Mesxii.. — Je crois devoir attirer l’attention de notre collè¬ 
gue, M. l^ATTON, sur ce c|ue le nom de genre Rhynchomonas a 
déjà été créé par Klebs, pour désigner un autre hdagellé.

Si les manifestations oculaires antérieures causées par l’infec¬ 
tion trvpanosomiasic[ue expérimentale sont bien connues, il n’en 
est pas de même des altérations des membranes profondes, des 
lésions de choriorétinite.
