Abstract
IN an earlier communication1, a ‘polyhedrosis’ of apparently cancerous blood cells of Tipula paludosa larvæ was described. The cytoplasmic disease de scribed here is primarily of the larval fat body. No multiplication of the fat cells is involved, and no in clusion bodies are formed as the result of the disease. A few animals with both diseases have been observed in addition to the many in which they occurred singly.
