    H Scientific Memoirs by Medical Officers of the Army of India. Post scriptum.—While the above has been in the press, I have made the further dis- covery that encysted CEsophagostoma may be found also in by far the larger proportion of carcases of oxen that I have been examining. The species, however, evidently does not find itself at home in bovines, for the tumours remain for the most part small, comparatively few going on to the caseous stage, though the total number present has been very large, in one or two cases. The trichonemes, after escaping from encystment, however seem quite incapable of developing within the sloppy surroundings of the bovine colon. At any rate, the most careful search has failed to bring to light a single adult or even maturing specimen. I hope to deal more fully with this point at some future opportunity.
