The February number of the Archives of Dermatology and Syphilis 
contains a report of Dr. J. L. Kirby-Smith, W. EZ. Dove, and Dr. G. F. White, 
on a type of creeping eruption in man which is prevalent in Florida and 
other coastal States. The causative organism was first supposed to be an 
insect larva, but the work of the authors proves that the lesions are due 
to a nematode in the third instar. This new form is described in the paper 
as Agamanematodum migrans. An apparently very effective treatment was 
developed in the course of the work, and is now being employéd by numerous 
physicians in the South. 

TAXONOMIC INVESTIGATIONS 
S. A, Rohwer, Entomologist, in Charge 
: C. T. Greene left early in March for Panama, where he will collect, 
rear, and associate larvae. and adults of fruit flies for the Federal Horti- 
cultural Board. Mr. Greene's headquarters will be at Ancon, with Mr. Zetek. 
Fruit-fly larvae have been intercepted at quarantine many times, but, be- 
cause they have never been carefully associated with the adults, it has 
been impossible to get svecific identificstions. It is expected that Mr. 
Greene's work in Panama will permit the association of the larvae and 
adults of the more common fruit flies cf Central and South America. Mr. 
Greene will probably not return to Washington until the middle of June.
