lateral cordons terminate at level of vulva. Vulva 8.4 mm. from 

 anterior end, dividing body length in ratio of 3:2. Two divergent 

 uteri. Anus 407/* from tail end. Eggs not mature in specimens 

 described. 



CYRNEA BULBOSA (Linstow, 190G) Ortlepp, 1925 



Ortlepp 28 gives the following redescription of Linstow's species, 

 transferring it from Physaloptera (see p. 310) to Cyrnea : Mouth with 

 two lateral lips, each of which is subdivided into a large median and 

 two smaller lateral lobes. Cervical papillae small, spikelike, situated 

 just anterior to or at level of nerve ring. Mouth cavity well devel- 

 oped. Esophagus made up of anterior, muscular and posterior, 

 glandular parts, the anterior being about 1/10 of the total length 

 of the esophagus. Male 10.4 mm. long by 325/* wide. Esophagus 

 just less than 1/10 of total body length. Right spicule 945/* long; 

 left spicule 2.45 mm. long. Immediately anterior to cloacal aperture 

 the ventral surface of body covered with irregular tubercles. Caudal 

 papillae as in original description except that Ortlepp says the 

 adanal papillae are pedunculated, rather than sessile, and the group 

 of papillae near the tail end consists of four pairs, rather than five 

 pairs. FemaU 24 mm. long by 455/* wide. Tail length 1/129 of total 

 body length; vulva 1.25 mm. from tail end, dividing body in ratio 

 of 18 : 1. Vagina 546/* long by 137/* wide at base, from which laterally 

 arises the thick-walled ovejector, 590/* in length, from which the two 

 uteri branch off and run parallel anteriorly. 



GONGYLONEMA, new species? 



Synonym. — Gongylonema ingluvicola 1 of Smit and Notosoediro, 

 1926. 29 From the crop of the chicken ; Java ( ? ) . 



Morphology. — Gongylonema (p. 203) : Cuticular bosses extend for a 

 distance of about 500/* from the head end. Mouth cavity long (34/*) 

 and slender (7/*). Male 18 to 19 mm. long by 215/* wide. Caudal 

 papillae asymmetrical, on the left side four preanal, one adanal, 

 and five postanal ; on the right side five preanal, one adanal, and four 

 postanal. Spicules very unequal, the left spicule long (10.5 mm.), 

 slender and sharply pointed ; the right spicule short and thick, meas- 

 uring 580/*. Female 40 to 56 mm. long by 330/* wide. Anus 332/* 

 from tail end. Vulva 2.5 mm. anterior to anus. Eggs 55/* by 35/*. 



The spicule lengths of Gongylonema ingluvicola Ransom being 

 very different from the above, Smit and Notosoediro are apparently 

 dealing with a new species.
