Extract

Dr H. E. Hinton, who is working upon the larva of a chironomid, Polypedilum vanderplanki Hinton (1951), found in dried mud from shallow rock pools at Anara, alt. 2500 ft., about 20 miles south-east of Kaduna in Northern Nigeria, noticed that there were nematodes in this dried mud which revived when placed in water and very kindly sent me the material to examine from Hinton
