 S. S. Cameron, per Dr. Bull. 



Previous Records. — From New South Wales and Queensland 

 (v. pt. i., Census). 



Remai'ks. — The opinion of the residents ol the locality whence 

 this material came — viz., that it causes considerable mortality 

 in cattle, is in harmony with that of Zurn (Neumann, p. 301) 

 and Cobb (1891. p. 614-5); but I have, as yet, no direct evi- 

 dence bearing on the point. In this instance the worms were 

 very numerous in the part of the rumen forwarded to me, 

 averaging one to every .5 square millimetres.
