(Rail- liet) MITES PARASITIC IN CONNECTIVE TISSUE Laminosioptes cysticola, accord- ing to Neumann, is a mite occur- ring in gallinaceous birds such as fowls, pheasants and turkeys. The parasites live on the surface and in the thickness of the skin caus- ing the formation of scurf. They are encountered rarely except in the subcutaneous tissue especially in the places where it is very loose, such as the flanks, the vent, on the thighs, the breast and the neck. They are able to penetrate the deep connective tissue.

They are able to penetrate the deep connective tissue. Microscopic ex- amination of fragments of subcu- taneous connective tissue permits all phases of their development to be observed. When they die, the carcass acts as a foreign body and causes the formation of a miliary nodule about it. This promptly undergoes calcareous infiltration. On treating these nodules with
