from the tail. The seminal portion occupies half the diameter of the body and extends 

 forwards for a distance of 5,25 mm. The closely packed testicular coils occupy the 

 central portion of the body for a further distance of 10,5 mm. reaching to within 4,5 

 mm. of the anterior end. The two spicules are of almost equal shape and size, they 

 are of slender build, arcuate and solid measuring 95 mm. long. The preanal papillae 

 are in Single row on either side of the body. The exact number of pairs was indeter- 

 minable, but exceeds twenty-four. The post-anals comprise a single pair of double pa- 

 pillae immediately behind the anus: fom' Single papillae in almost transverse row (the 

 external pair slightly in advance of the internal) and lastly two single papillae upon each 

 lateral aspect of the conical portion of the lail lying behind the Iransverse series. 



The females are slightly stouter than the males and show no terminal coiling. 

 The Oesophagus measures 1,» mm., the vulva 10 mm. from the anterior end. The ova 

 are spherical and measure 0,o6— 0,n7 mm. in diameter. The surface is marked with deep 

 pitting like the eggs of the genus Belascaris. The integument as in the male is finely 

 marked with transverse Striae 0,oo2 mm. apart. L. major is a much larger than L. minor 

 a form previously recorded by me from a native of Trinidad.

Although tlie specimens undoubtedly belong to v. LiNSTOw's species the charaeters of the mouth 

 capsule depart very considerably from those deseribed for Deletrocephalns dimidiatus DiESiNG the type of the 

 genus. It appears highly probable that a detailed comparison of these two forms would result in the 

 transference of D. sfylosus to a new genus bearing a somewhat similar relationship to Deletrocephalns as that 

 exhibited by Cylichnosiomum to Triodontophorus.
