Fortunately, it is an almost universal law in the history of the more dangerous kinds of entozoa, that the egg or embryo must escape from the host inhabited by the parent before mach progress can be made in development. Ware it possible for animala so prolific as the filaria immitia of the dog, or Elaria sanguinis of man, to be born and matured, and to reproduce their kind again, in an individual host, the latter would certainly be overwhelmed by the first swarm of embryos escaping into the blood, soon as they had made any pro-
grens in growth. If, for example, the brood of embryo fillarime at any one time frea in at the blood of a dog moderately well charged with them were to begin growing, before they had each attained a hundredth part of the size of the mature filaria their aggre-

Now the individuals of such a swarm could nover attain anything approaching the size of the mature worm without certainly involving the death of the host. The death of the host would imply the death of the parasite,

of embryo filarise. Dr Manson shows that the mosquito is the worker of all this mischief. After examining a very large number of mosquitos, after they had fed on persons infested with the embryos of the filariae, Dr Manson is able to show, in the most conclusive manner, that the embryos which are taken in with the blood by the mosquito pass, while remaining in the body of the insect, from a simple structureless anima), as they are when they leave the human system, to an animal much increased in size and capable of independent existence. Here is a description of the manner în which one of the Doctor's investigations in regard to the part played by the mon- quitos in these matters was condust. ed-
I perenaded a Chinaman, in whose blood I had already ascertained that filarias abounded, to sleep in what is known as a mosquito house in a room where mosquitos were plentiful After he had gone to bed, a light was placed beside him and the door of the wosquito house was kept open for half an hour. In this way many mosquitos,
