Mr. H. E. Freeman : Ova of Myohia on male organ of Lesser 

 Short- eared Bat, The Kev. C. E,. N. Burrows discovered two 

 species of Myohia on various bats. One of these, M. chirop- 

 teralis, was described by Mr. Michael in the Club's Journal^ 

 Yol. II., Series 2, p. 1. The present species has not been named 

 or described, so far as Mr. Burrows is aware, and he has named it 

 M. immunda. It differs from M. chiro2yteralis in being short, flat, 

 much smaller, and colourless. The latter is much longer, stouter, 

 with long flat hairs, and body slightly yellow when mature. The 

 two species are found on the same bat, but M. imTnunda is 

 always found on or near the genital organs, hence the nkme, 

 which literally means unclean or filthy. In this respect it 

 resembles the human parasite, Phthirius inguinalis. On account 

 of its minute size and delicate structure it is extremely difficult 

 to capture and examine in the living state. Specimens of the 

 two sexes of both species are shown ; also Myohia from the Mouse 

 and Mole for comparison.
