Part  III  deals  with  Arthropods  or  the  insects  with  their  allies. 
Consideration  in  individual  chapters  is  given  to  the  arthropods  in 
general,  the  mites,  ticks,  bedbugs,  lice,  fleas,  mosquitos,  book  sucking 
flies,  fly  maggots  and  myiasis. 
A  carefully  selected  list  of  references  to  important  articles  on 
parasitology  found  in  different  periodicals  and  books  furnishes  valu- 
able information,  as  the  closing  pages  of  this  important  volume, 
for  any  one  who  may  desire  further  detailed  knowledge  on  this 
subject. 
The  appearance  of  this  carefully  prepared  and  illustrated  volume 
dealing  with  parasitology  as  related  to  human  disease,  marks  a 
presentation  of  this  subject  in  such  a  manner  as  to  make  it  read- 
able and  useful  not  only  to  the  parasitologist,  but  also  to  the  layman 
and  everyone  interested  in  the  progress  of  science  and  civilization. 
The  work  should  serve  a  distinctly  useful  purpose  in  the  fields  for 
which  it  was  intended.

OBITUARY. 
CHARLES  FORD  DARE. 
Charles  F.  Dare  was  born  in  Bridgeton,  New  Jersey,  on  May  19, 
1842,  and  died  suddenly  in  Newark,  N.  J.,  while  on  a  brief  visit,  on 
Thursday,  May  16,  1918. 
Mr.  Dare's  early  life  was  spent  in  Bridgeton,  his  parents  mov- 
ing to  Philadelphia  when  he  was  young.  He  received  his  educa- 
tion in  the  schools  of  that  city.  He  entered  as  an  apprentice  to  the 
drug  business  at  an  early  age ;  attended  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy,  passing  the  examination  successfully  when  less  than 
twenty  years  of  age.  Graduating  just  at  the  commencement  of  the 
Civil  War,  he  at  once  enlisted  in  Corn  Exchange  Regiment  of  Phila- 
delphia, the  regiment  being  so  called  from  the  fact  that  the  Corn  Ex- 
change Bank  had  equipped  the  regiment  at  its  own  expense.  Mr. 
Dare  was  appointed  as  hospital  steward  and  remained  in  that  capac- 
ity until  the  regiment  was  mustered  out  of  the  service  at  the  end  of 
the  war. 
On  his  return  to  Philadelphia,  Mr.  Dare  received  his  diploma 
from  the  college,  dated  March,  1861.  In  the  meantime,  his  parents 
had  removed  to  Bridgeton  and  on  his  retirement  from  the  Army  he 
came  to  Bridgeton  and  was  employed  in  the  drug  store  of  Edwin  F.
