Abstract
A COMPREHENSIVE paper entitled “Combating Lousiness among Soldiers and Civilians,” by Prof. G H. L. Nuttall, appears in Parasitology for May (vol. x., No. 4). The paper is one of a series which, when complete, will constitute an exhaustive monograph on human lice. It brings together, not only the available published information, but also that resulting from hitherto unpublished research work, partly the author's own, and partly that of others contained in reports to the War Office, which he has been permitted to use. Prof. Nuttall has generously presented a special edition of three hundred copies of the paper to the Allied Armies; and, in view of the recently established fact that trench fever is conveyed by lice, this should prove a very timely gift.
