    alcohol will do almost equally well; or the larvae may be sent alive in a corked tube containing some of the water in which they have lived, if sufficient air is allowed them. Small glass tubes, i| inches long, fitted with corks, and carried in a small box, tin case, or larger tube, are most useful for carrying home specimens or sending them by post. I am much indebted to Major Ross, D.P.H., M.R.C.S., for having kindly communicated to me some valuable information, of which I have made use. I have also to thank my brother, Mr. Miller Christy, F.L.S., of Chelmsford, and Mr. E. Bertram Smith, of St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, who have been good enough to see the work through the press during my absence from England. If this little work should be the means of interesting fresh observers, thereby inducing them to add to our knowledge of the subject discussed, I shall feel amply repaid for the labour of preparing it. As knowledge on the subject is advancing very rapidly, I hope that it may be possible to issue, from time to time, further editions, brought up to date. CUTHBERT CHRISTY. Bombay, April 1900.
