Invasion of the Nasal Cavity by a Leech *Rearranged by the Editor, I. M. G.[Comment.—We submitted Dr. Astavans' note to Dr. C. Strickland, Professor of Medical Entomology, Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine, who has kindly commented as follows:—'With reference to your endorsement on the attached paper, Dr. Roy identified the leech as Dinobdella ferox, but awaited Professor Moore's return to Calcutta for confirmation. This I have now obtained.The interest of the paper must be judged by existing records of infestation of the respiratory passages of man by leeches in general and D. ferox in particular. As for the former there are many, the majority of which seem to have been in Egypt and nearby countries due to Limnates spp.As for the latter there have been no previous records of such a case in man, though the nasal cavity of cattle is the normal habitat of the species. The history given by the writer is in accord with the usual history in animals.'—Editor, I. M. G.]
