Cholera.-8 of the 24 cases were positive and all the positive cases were imported. No case is returned as true Asiatic Cholera unless a vibrio is isolated which :-
(1) agglutinates in high dilution with a powerful specific serum made in this Laboratory with a known Cholera Culture; (2) gives vibriolysis on addition of complement to the specific serum; (3) does not haemolyse washed Red Blood Corpuscles. On this basis none of the 16 local cases were Cholera.
Wasserman's Syphilis Reaction was only started in December, but as everything is now ready it is hoped that more cases will be got in 1911.
Diptera. Of the Larvae and adult flies sent for examination, the case of most interest was that of Larvae vomited by an Indian patient of Dr. Bell's in the Government Civil Hospital. The vomiting of these Larvae is guaranteed by Dr. Bell, the breeding out of the adult flies was done by me in this Institute. Mr. E. E. Austen, in charge of the National Diptera Collection, British Museum, has been good enough to give the specific determination of these flies as Aphiochaeta ferruginea, Brun (Family Phoridae) and Hippelates bilineatus, de Meijere (Family Chloropidae). Mr. Austen further states that though Aphiochaeta ferruginea has been found in cases of human myiasis in various parts of the Tropics in both hemispheres, Hippelates bilineatus has not previously been known as a cause of human myiasis and that very little is known of its life history. When the season comes round again a look-out will be kept for further details regarding this fly.
