Gordon, R.M. Mosquitoes Collected in the Manáos Region of the Amazon. & Evans, A.M. Ann. Trop. Med. & Parasit. Vol. XVI., No. 3, p. 315.
Amongst other Culicida collected, the Authors describe four new species for which they propose the names 'Sabethes amazonicus,”

It will thus be seen that all the dogs examined were infected with ancylostomes, A. caninum. being found in 100 per cent., and A. braziliense in 74 per cent. Yorke and Blacklock (1915) from the examination of seven dogs stated that dogs in Freetown were heavily infected with Ancylostomino, A. caninum and A. ceylanicum being present in about equal numbers. Hall (1917) records "hookworms in 71 per cent. of seventy-six dogs in Washington, and A. caninum in 34 per cent. of sixty-seven dogs in Detroit...
Of the nine cats examined by us, 66 per cent. were infected with A. caninum, A. braziliense, or both.
As recorded elsewhere, A. braziliense, although common in dogs in Mandos, does not occur often in human beings, one of us (R.M.G., 1922, finding only four infections in sixty-seven post-mortems. Maplestone, P. A. Cryptocotyle lingua (Creplin, 1825), Fischoeder, 1903, in a Dog

The author points out that the fallacy of drawing conclusions regard- ing a disease from a knowledge of the number of cases only, without a knowledge of the number of people amongst whom the disease
occurs.
Yorke, W. Recent Work on the Pathology of Blackwater Fever. Trop. Dis. Bull. Vol, 19, No. 8, p. 631,
The author divides recent workers on Blackwater into four groups. (1) Papers of a clinical nature; (2) papers concerned with the endemi- city of the disease; (3) papers dealing with the treatment of the disease; (4) papers dealing with the pathology of the disease. The review considers this latter group with special reference to the recent work of Plehn.
