This swelling gradually shifted its position, and slowly moved up the leg, thence towards the right...
Page 120 - September 1 949 at the autumn foray of the British Mycological Society. The identity of the fungus was confirmed by Miss EM Wakefield. As far as I am aware this is the first record of its occurrence on any host other than oak. From the scanty records it appears to be rare both in this country and in Europe. Pilat (1936) records it as occurring usually on old living oak trees, also on dead oak trees and on converted timber exposed to damp, but remarks that it has not yet been recorded...
Page 78 - ... articulating with this framework. The larva burrows its way into the tissue on which it feeds by repeated extension and contraction of the hooks, alternately piercing and tearing. These movements explain the agonizing pain which patients experience when the larvae appear from the eggs. These hooks are very large in proportion to the size of the body of the larvae.

No cause could be assigned for these curious phenomena. The larvae were pronounced by competent authority to belong to a Dipterous insect, although the genus could not be satisfactorily determined. There was no sufficient proof of the existence of an (Estrus peculiar to man alone. A good abstract, from which the above is quoted,...

I noticed it faintly when turning the moths out of the pill-boxes, but when a number were pinned into a box it became very noticeable indeed. It was confined to the male moth, and seemed especially to come from the curious bladdery termination of the aborted hind legs, but of this I am not positive. It certainly does not continue to be observable when the moths get worn....
