Seurat (1916) reports encysted larvae of Spirocerca sanguinolenta 

 from a large variety of hosts in Algeria including Ei^naceus algirus. 



Genus ARDUENNA RailUet and Henry, 1911 



AKDUENNA STRONGYUNA (RudoJphi, 1819) 



One male specimen of this species, collected from Svs scrofa do- 

 mestica in Kalgan in 1922 (Cat. No. 26433, U.S.N.M.). Location given 

 in the original bottle is mesentery. Normally this parasite occurs in 

 the stomach of swine, and its occurrence in the mesentery is probably 

 due to an accidental transfer during necropsy. 



ARDUENNA DENTATA (Linstow 1904) 



Specimens were collected from the intestine of swine in Kuling in 



1921 (Cat. No. 26452, U.S.N.M.), This species was described by von 



Linstow (1904) as Spiroptera dentaia from Sus cristatiis. RailUet 



and Henry (1911) transferred it to the genus Arduenna referring 



to its specimens collected from domestic swine in Annam. Indo- 



China. 



Genus GONGYLONEMA Molin, 1857 



GONGYLONEMA SCUTATUM (Leuckart, 1873) 



These specimens were collected from the esophagus of Ovis aries 

 in Peking in 1921 (Cat. No. 26421, U.S.N.M,). 



Family GNATHOSTOMIDAE R. Blanchard, 1895' 

 Genus GNATHOSTOMA Owen, 1836 



GNATHOSTOMA SPINIGERUM Owen, 1836 



These specimens were collected from Felis domestica in Peking in 



1922 (Cat. No. 26431, U.S.N.M,). The location of these specimens 

 as given on the label is "kidney wall." 



Faust (1921) reports 4 specimens of this species from a gastric 

 tumor in a cat in Wuchang. Faust (1921) also states that a related 

 species was taken from a dog in the same locality. Inasmuch as 

 Gnathostoma spinigerum also occurs in dogs, it is probable that the 

 form from the dog in Wuchang belongs to the same species. Recently 

 Morishita and Faust (1925) report two cases of human gnathosto- 

 miasis from China, one case being associated with "creeping disease." 

 The parasites in question are probably G. spinigerum. Morishita 

 and Faust (1925) also refer to three cases of Gnathostoma spinigerum 

 in cats and to one case in a dog from central and north China. 



GNATHOSTOMA HISPIDUM Fedtschenko, 1872 



Maxwell (1921) reports this species from the stomach of the pig in 

 south Fukien.
