A New Flagellate (Macrostoma mesnili N. Sp.) from the Human Intestine with some Remarks on the Supposed Cysts of Trichomonas

The flagellate to be described in this paper was found in the faeces of a native of the Bahamas who was admitted to the Seamen's Hospital, Albert Dock, in October, 1909. In the course of the examination of the perfectly fresh material it was noticed that numerous flagellates were swimming about. They were taken to be Trichomonas but on closer examination they were seen to differ markedly from these. In the character of their movements there was little to distinguish them from Trichomonas except that the undulating membrane so characteristic of this genus appeared to be absent. The body is pear shaped and there are three long flagella directed forwards from the blunt end of the body. By the lashing of these three flagella the animal is drawn along with the blunt end in advance and at the same time revolves upon its longitudinal axis. A very characteristic feature is the presence of a very large cytostome extending from the base of the three flagella towards the posterior end of the body for about one half to two thirds of its length. The movements of the animals were at first so violent that great difficulty was experienced in making out the details of the anatomy, but as the faeces cooled their activities began to abate. It was then seen that the flagella was as long or longer than the body and that the large cytostome was arranged in a slightly spiral manner: that is to say it did not run directly parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body.

Some Observations on a Flagellate of the Genus Cercomonas

ABSTRACT In the present paper I shall describe a flagellate of the genus Cercomonas, a genus first created by Dujardin, in his Historie Naturelle des Zoophytes Infusoires,’ published in 1841. Since Dujardin’s original description numerous flagellates have incorrectly been attributed to this genus, so much so that Klebs, in his ‘Flagellatenstndien ‘(1893), says that this genus has not been defined with sufficient accuracy, that it has been confused with Heteromila and Bodo by the overlooking of the tail flagellum, and that the genus Cercomonas must be rejected. It is undoubtedly true that the genus Cercomonas is very confused, and this confusion has been considerably heightened by the description of Cercomonas from the intestine of man and other animals. Davaine (1854) was the first to record the presence of Cercomonas in the evacuations of a man suffering from cholera. Without going into the question of the correctness or otherwise of Davaine’s conclusions, it is undoubtedly a fact that many observers, noting the presence of active flagellates in the intestinal contents, have attributed them at once to the genus Cerco-inonas, and as a result of this various species of Trichomonas, Lamblia, and possibly other flagellates have been included in this genus. In the present instance the flagellate to be described was found in the fæces of a patient in the Albert Dock Hospital at the London School of Tropical Medicine. This patient was infected with Entamœba coli, andin order to observe changes in the encysted forms of this amœba some of the fæces were placed in a clean glass-stoppered bottle. In the course of a few days it was noticed that large numbers of flagellates were present. It is probable they had developed from cysts which must have been present in the fæces. On first examination it was seen that these flagellates corresponded very closely with the original description of Dujardin for the genus Cercomonas, and for this 1 took them to be. On more careful examination I found that the tapering posterior end was in reality a second flagellum, and that this could be traced along the surface of the body to which it was attached as far as the insertion of the long anterior flagellum. The presence of this posterior flagellum and its attachment to the body required very careful observation to make out, for it can only be clearly seen in certain portions of the animal, and it is quite conceivable, as Klebs maintains, that Dujardin overlooked this posterior flagellum. Dujardin’s original description of the genus is as follows :

Primæval Man and Working-Men Students

I RECEIVED a letter with great pleasure a fortnight ago from four new correspondents, who said they were working-men of Plaistow who had read my notes on Primaeval Man in NATURE, had studied the Pitt-Rivers collection, and wished to show me their finds in Essex and have the North-East London position personally explained to them. Sunday having been mentioned as a convenient day, and this being approved by me, my correspondents (Messrs. W. H. Smith, Amos Herring, W. Swain, and Philip Thornhill) came here on Sunday morning, July 29. The stones brought were of great interest, mostly belonging to the Essex positions published by me. One example was a superb, rather large, wedge-shaped, pointed, slightly abraded, and ochreous implement found at Leyton; two were from Plaistow, a locality almost unrepresented in collections; one from West Ham, and other pieces from Wanstead. A somewhat small ovate specimen of great interest was found by one of my correspondents in the gravel excavated for the New Albert Dock, the extension of the Victoria Dock. The object of the greatest interest was a rude scraper-like tool made from a somewhat large piece of tabular flint, and found in gravel excavated between Loughton Railway Station and the “Robin Hood” Tavern, undoubtedly artificial and palaeolithic; this ancient gravel is I think usually placed in the Glacial series; the find must be accepted as genuine. I may say here that on the 23rd of this month I found another implement and six flakes in gravel brought from Ware.

Notes on the Peat and Underlying Beds observed in the Construction of the Albert Dock, Hull

T he author described the Albert Dock as extending east and west along the foreshore of the Humber at Hull, for a distance of 4000 feet. The total area excavated was about 30 acres. All the excavations were carried to a depth of at least 8 feet, and in some instances of 27 feet, below the level of low water. Before the commencement of the excavations the Hessle Clay, peat, and overlying silt were met with in succession on the foreshore, the level of the top of the peat-bed at the west end of the area being about 3 feet above the level of low water, and its thickness from 3 to 4 feet. Eastward the bed followed the undulations of the clay without much variation in general level for half a mile, when it began to dip, attaining a depth of 12 feet below low-water level at the lock-entrance, and then rising again. From this depression of the peat-bed, and the appearance of the overlying silts, the author thought it probable that this had been an old channel of the river Hull, and that the upper part of the peat had been removed by scour. In support of this view he quoted the statements of antiquarian writers. The peat rested directly on the Hessle clay, into which roots penetrated to a distance of 5 or 6 feet, generally following the direction of vertical joints, which gave the clay a tendency to split into prisms. These joints did not occur in
