Extract

In “Veterinary Medicine” for March, 1924, Dr. M. C. Hall contributes the third instalment of his paper, “Developments in Veterinary Parasitology during the past Fifteen Years,” and on pages 190 and 191, under the heading Lungworms (Metastrongylidæ), considers work on the life histories of the lung-worms of sheep and cattle, Dictyocaulus filaria and D. viviparus, and then refers to the paper under review. His words are as follows: “The life-histories of the swine lung-worms Metastrongylus elongatus and M. brevivaginatus have been ascertained by an American worker, Zebrowski. In general it is similar to that of Dictyocaulus filaria above, but the moisture requirements of the larvæ in cultures are rather exact. Zebrowski's work, published in 1921 in the proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science, has been quite generally overlooked.”
