Report on a Collection of Parasitic Nematodes, mainly from Egypt. Part I. Ascaridae and Heterakidae

When Prof. E. Hindle took over the direction of the Biological Laboratory of the Egyptian Government School of Medicine, Cairo, he found there a large collection of parasitic worms, most of which had been accumulated by Prof. Looss while in charge of the Laboratory for a number of years prior to the Great War. As a large proportion of this material was unnamed, and as the named portion of it contained many specimens possibly of considerable value as original types or co-types, which had been in a neglected condition for some time, it was thought advisable to send duplicates of the collection to England, in order that part of it might be kept there in safer custody. It was also felt to be desirable that arrangements should be made for the examination and determination of the contents of the unnamed part of the collection.

The present paper is the fifth instalment of the Report on the Molteno Institute collection, of which Parts I–III (Ascaeidae, Heterakidae, Oxyuridae, Camallanidae, etc.) and Part IV (Trichostrongylidae and Strongylidae) were published in this Journal by Dr H. A. Baylis (1923) and myself (1926). This collection was sent to Cambridge by Dr E. Hindle and consisted chiefly of unnamed material which had accumulated in the Parasitological Laboratory of the Egyptian Government School of Medicine in Cairo. Since commencing the work on the Filarioidea contained in this material, a further series of worms belonging to this order was placed at my disposal by the Cairo Medical School and the results of my study of this collection have been incorporated with those of the Molteno Institute specimens.

The present paper is the first of a series describing a collection of cestodes from the Biological Laboratory of the Egyptian Government School of Medicine, Cairo, the nematodes having previously been described in this Journal by Baylis (1923 a, 1923 b, 1923 c) and Boulenger (1926). The identification of this portion of the collection has presented great difficulties, the specimens, from long immersion in alcohol mixed with fragments of cork, having become so pigmented as to be virtually black and almost unstainable: but for a formula (soak for 3 to 5 days in pure beechwood creosote, then transfer for the same time to 5 per cent. hydrochloric acid in 70 per cent, alcohol) supplied by Dr H. A. Baylis—to whom the author tenders his most sincere thanks—the elucidation of their anatomy would have been impossible.

Comprehensive Study

This book by Colonel Dalibor Denda, Dr. Sc., research fellow of the Institute of Strategic Studies of the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Serbia, is a comprehensive study on the history of the Serbian military system from the nineteenth century to 1918. It consists of seven chronologically and thematically arranged chapters which embrace the period from the First Serbian Uprising (1804–1813) to the wars of 1912–1918. The structure corresponds to the key tuning points of the making and development of the armed forces, which evolved from a rebel militia into the best minor army of the Great War. Special attention is paid to the selection and education of the army command staff, and determination of military doctrine and system of command. Furthermore, the author considers Russia’s influence on the evolution of the Serbian army and Russian-Serbian military interaction. The book is intended for the general reader.
