 THIS MAN. CLAIMS

Anniston, June 25.--(Special)-- With snake stories coming from every section of the state, here is a fish story which is vouched for by Talladega county citizens whose reputation for truth and veracity in the communities in which they live has never been questioned:
 Lelas Collins. partner in and CO., operator of the Griffith fish trap on the Coosa river, gathers the fish from his seven traps three times a day. One day last week MT. Collins was rowing his skiff around the edge or lily bed in the middle of the river when a two-pound trout jumped from the greenery in the water into the boat.
 MT. Collins stated that the movement of the boat frightened the trout into quick jump. ana that it's direction being toward the skiff was responsible for the landing Tn the bottom instead of in the water of the CCosa.

 The case emphasizes the fact that a parasitic infection of man. widely distributed (Florida, Georgia, Arkan- sas). but seldom recognized. exists In the United States. The infection doubtless occurs through swallowing insects, perhaps croton bugs. It causes irritation and nervousness but apparently no dangerous condi- tion.
 Similar infections are widespread among cattle. sheep. rats, etc. { nd the form in man may be specifically identical with one of these. Until material is available to establish identity, Professor Stiles suggests on purely practical grounds that the worm described and figured by Ward as gongylonema CD pulchrum be re- ferred to as gongylonema homonis SD. dub in order to keep the nomen- clature distinct
