It may please our homoeopathic friends to hear that, in curing the bite of the tampan, the natives administer one of the insects bruised in the medicine employed. * Another insect, resembling a maggot, burrows into the feet of the natives and sucks their blood. Mr. Mr. W. also thinks that the poison- yielding larva called N'gwa is a "species of chrysomelidae.
When sleeping in the house of the commandant, an insect, well known in the southern country by the name Tampan, bit my foot. It is a kind of tick, and chooses by preference the parts between the fingers or toes for inflicting its bite. It is seen from the size of a pin's head to that of a pea, and is common in all the native huts in this country.
