R. Southern exhibited specimens of the tape-worm, Anoplocephala 

 hyracis (Rudolphi), from the intestine bile-ducts, &c, of a Hyrax, which 

 died recently in the Dublin Zoological Gardens. A. hyracis belongs to 

 that division of the family Tseniidoe with an unarmed scolex, and one set 

 of genital organs in each segment. The segments are much longer than 

 broad. The worms were found in the duodenum, and at intervals along 

 the intestine. The principal bile-duct was also greatly distended with 

 proglottids. A description of the species has been given by R. Moniez, 

 in Revue Zool. du Nord de France, vol. i\\, 1891-92, p. 28.
