Abstract

ABSTRACT The readers of this Journal will remember from my first paper* that I had commenced a series of experiments, in order to decide the question whether the Pentastomum denticulatum, which occasionally occurs as a parasite in man, be a fully developed animal, or whether, as might be concluded from certain reasons, it merely represents the larval condition of the well-known Pentastomum tœnioides which is found infesting the nasal cavity of dogs. To this end I had infected three dogs with P. denticulatum, not more than a few millimetres in size, by the introduction directly into their nostrils of several dozen of these parasites, procured from the abdomen of a rabbit.
