that the last segments in our specimens are square. The segments 
figured by Ftthrmann for this species are broader than long, but 
possibly those figured were not the posterior gravid segments.

swan). 
Our specimens are without heads and were badly preserved. 
They measured 17 mm. long and ‘6 mm. broad. The segments 
are all much longer than broad, the genital pores are all on one 
side and are situated anteriorly. The cirrus pouch is enormous. 
It is placed at the anterior end and lies transversely across two- 
thirds of the segment. It is one-third the length of the segment. 
The penis is also very long and covered with exceedingly minute 
spines. As far as could be ascertained, the testes were three in 
number, and posterior and median in situation. Near them, and on 
the side opposite to that on which the genital pore occurs, was a 
darkish mass, which appeared to be the ovary. No further ana- 
tomical details could be determined. 
Hymenolepis sp. 
Two specimens from Chrysophlegma flavinucha (woodpecker) , 
Zoological Gardens, Calcutta. The specimens, which have been 
permanently stained and mounted, were so badly preserved that, 
although they appear to be new species, I have been obliged to 
defer a careful description until more material can be collected. 
They measure 25 mm. long and are thin and filamentous. The 
last few segments were gravid. The rostellum is comparatively 
long, and, owing to contraction, appears wrinkled. There appears 
to be a single row of ten hooks. Suckers unarmed. There is no 
neck. The first segments are much broader than long and the last 
few are slightly longer (‘26 mm.) than broad (‘Ig mm.). The 
reproductive apertures are almost, but not quite, unilateral. The 
testes are very large and are three in number, two being posterior, 
(one on each side of the middle line) and the third being anterior 
to one of the former. The genital cloaca is large, and the cirrus 
small. The ovary and vittelarium appear to be situated between, 
and anterior to the two posterior testes. The receptaculum 
seminis (?) was enormous, and situated anteriorly, in the middle 
of the segment. The uterus occupied the whole of the last seg- 
ments, and appeared to be divided into two, by a dorso-ventral 
septum running from the anterior to the posterior end of the 
segment. 
Sub-genus Drepanidotaenia, Railliet, 1892.
