Prior to 1939 our knowledge of the mites of the sub-family Trombiculinae was limited to about a dozen species, whose life history had been the subject of investigations by Nagayo and his associates in Japan, Walch in the Dutch East Indies and Gater, Fletcher, Lesslar and Lewthwaite in Malaya.

The Subject

The material here described was mostly obtained as a result of a period of study and travel in East Africa in 1939. Two of the species were reared from Coccidae of the genus Aspidoproctus at Amani, Tanganyika Territory, and their life, history is the subject of an accompanying paper. I am greatly indebted to Dr F. W. Edwards, F.R.S., for allowing me to describe the remarkable species collected by him on Ruwenzori, Uganda, in 1935. I am also most grateful to Dr R. H. Le Pelley of the Scott Agricultural Laboratories, Nairobi, and Dr E. A. Lewis of the Veterinary Research Laboratory, Kabete, Nairobi, for other valuable new material. In addition, The Imperial Institute of Entomology has kindly allowed me to examine and describe material from Uganda in their possession which had been erroneously identified as Cryptochaetum iceryae (Will.). Type specimens of all species will be deposited in the British Museum.

A New Species

The nematode genus Stephanofilaria was created to accommodate the species S. dedoesi Ihle and Ihle-Landenberg, 1933, which was found in association with a disease in cattle named “Cascado” in the Dutch East Indies. Two further species have since been described, namely, S. stilesi Chitwood, 1934, from skin lesions in cattle in the United States and S. assamensis Pande, 1936, from “Hump Sore” in cattle in Assam. The disease and its relation to the nematode has been studied in each case by Bubberman and Kranefeld (1933) in the Dutch East Indies, by Dikmans (1934) in the United States and by Pande (1935) in Assam, and the results of their studies leave little doubt as to the authenticity of Stephanofilariasis as an important skin disease in cattle.

De Man

In a collection of nematodes received from the Institute of Plant Diseases, Buitenzorg, Java, there were three tubes containing eelworms from pepper gardens on the island of Bangka, Dutch East Indies, where disease of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) caused by the “burrowing” nematode, Anguillulina similis, is particularly severe. In one of these tubes were worms which had been collected by Dr. J. van der Vecht from diseased pepper roots grown in a garden at Mabat Oerit, Bangka. Among these were large numbers of Anguillulina similis, many Cephalobus striatus, one Aphelenchus avenae, a few Dorylaimus sp. and 30 representatives of the worm which forms the subject of this note. On being cleared and mounted in glycerine it was seen that the buccal spear in all cases was extraordinarily long and closely resembled that figured by Cobb (1913) in Xiphinema americanum from which it was concluded that the worms might possibly belong to the genus Xiphinema. A question which exercised the writer for some time was whether, following Micoletzky (1921), the genus Xiphinema Cobb, 1913 should be considered as synonymous with Tylencholaimus de Man, 1876.

A New Species

For the parasites which form the subject of the present communication, I am indebted to my friend Professor Morrison Watson, who found them in a male specimen of Proteles cristatus, Sparrman, of whose myology he has since published an account. Before entering upon a description of the entozoon, it may be allowable to say a word or two with respect to its host, which is not an animal of everyday occurrence. It was first described a little more than a century ago by Sparrman, the Swedish traveller, as occurring in South Africa, where it is known to the farmers as the “grey jackal”; he gave it the name Viverra cristata. The only point in his description of any present interest is that its stomach “ had nothing but ants in it, or to speak more properly, the white termites,” which might be a valuable hint for any one who had the will and opportunity to investigate the life history of the parasite before us.

Telling Diaspora Stories: theoretical and methodological reflections on narratives of migrancy and belongingness in the second generation

The Subject

This article explores the theoretical and methodological implications of the study of second generation migration through the use of life stories, a narrative and biographical approach. It presents a theoretical contextualisation of life history research in addressing the direction it has taken in the study of migration and identity in order to problematise how the subject and subjectivities in narrative research have been framed by social categorisations such as gender, ethnicity, class as well as social experiences such as trauma, exile, memory and imagination. The paper develops the analytical contribution of researching the biographicity of everyday migrant lives.
