ANIMAL PARASITIC INFECTIONS 433 
(Batsch 1786 — Rudolphi 1805) besides Homo sapiens, cattle (Bos taurus), 
sheep (Ovis aries), goats (Capra hircus), swine (Sus scrofa domestica). It is also 
reported for crab-eating macaque (Macacus cynomolgus), Indian lion-tailed 
macaque (M. silenus), Barbary macaque (Inwus inwus), the argali (Ovis am- 
mon), Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus), dromedary (C. dromedarius), giraffe 
(Giraffa camelopardalis), wild boar (Sus scrofa), four-horned antelope (Tetra- 
ceros quadricornis), European elk or moose (Alces alces), zebra (Equus zebra), 
horse (H. caballus), ass (EH. asinus), Malayan tapir (T'apirus indicus), domes- 
ticated dog (Canis familiaris), leopard (Felis pardus), domesticated cat (F. 

No. 362. — Camera lucida drawing of external laminated wall of Echinococcus cyst 
and germinal layer with several small buds and larger daughter cysts with developing scolices 
in Phacochoerus africanus 
catus domestica), ichneumon (Herpestes ichnewmon), common European squirrel 
(Sciurus vulgaris), kangaroo (Macropus major). 
In addition to this list, one finds among the hosts cited by Brumpt,! (to 
which we have added the zoological designations) the bear (Ursus sp.), panther 
(Felis panthera), mongoose (Herpestes sp.), eland (Taurotragus derbianus), and 
rabbit (Lepus sp.). He also states there is a possibility of certain birds being 
infected. Manson-Bahr,’ in his article on the relationship of wild animals to 
diseases in man, names as a host for Hchinococcus granulosus, the wolf (Canis 
lupus) and the jackal (Canis aureus). None of these authors mention the wart

ported in this animal. 
Cameron * has recently made observations on the genus Hchinococcus. He
