An analogous instance was seen in a negro in the Emergency Hospital, Washington, D.C., in the summer of 1894; and many others are recorded. The insects are frequently removed only after a prolonged lodgment. D'Aguanno gives an account of two instances of living larvae of the musca sarcophaga in the ears of children.
