There are a few more species in birds 
like Gigantobilharzia acotyla ODHNER 1910, 
Ornithobilharzia intermedia ODHNER from 
European Laridae and Kowaleskii PARONA 
from Larus melanocephalus in Europe. 
These blood flukes form a group of di- 
genetic trematodes to whicch some authors 
give family value, calling them Schistosomidae 
or Bilharziidae. They were discussed under 
this name by ODHNER (Zool. Anzeiger 
1913, p. 58).

V. HOLCOMB 1907. A quite likely expla- 
nation is that the female of one species 
might be carried by the male of the other 
to its place of predilection thus causing an 
abnormal localisation of the female. 
The terminal prolongation of some 
eggs of Sch. m. (fig. 11) may also be erro- 
neously taken for a spine.

I saw this swamp in its natural state 
which seemed favourable for the breeding 
of aquatic molluscs. Dr. COSTA LIMA who 
directed the drainage stated to me that the 
workmen always accused itching after having 
entered the water. 
7. (Pg. 115, 1. 9 from the bottom of 
col. 2.) After my work was finished I received 
two interesting papers by WILLIAM CORT 
(Univ. of Calif. Publ. in Zool. XVIII, No 
17 & 18, Jan. 4, 1919) on the Cercaria of 
the Sch. japonicum and the eggs and mira- 
cidia of the other human blood-flukes. 1: the 
first paper the author represents the excre- 
tory system with its ramifications, the ner- 
vous system and a cephalic gland inside of 
the oral sucker and the rudimentary intestine 
in very clear (but evidently very schematic) 
drawings which makes the comparison with 
Sch. M. rather difficult. The second paper con- 
tains two microphotographs and five dra- 
wings of the eggs and miracidia of Sch. M. 
and Sch. japooicum, \t is interesting to com- 
pare the want of details in the photographs 
with the distinctness of the drawings (which 
illustrate the interpretation ofthe author but 
hardly resemble the aspect of the microsco- 
pical preparations). 1 call attention to the 
fact that in his two first cases the author tai- 
led to find the rudimentary spines on the 
eggs of Sch. jap. In a third case they were 
found in varying size but only in one half of 
the number examined. The author also gives 
historical notes and a Jist of publications. 
8. (Pg. 120, 1. 13 from the bottom of 
col. 1.) Onthe relation between the terminal- 
spined and lateral-spined eggs of Bilharzia 
Brit. Med. Journ. March 18th 1916, p. 411. 
“In the form derived from Bullinus sp. the 
males have four or five large testes and the 
two lateral gut brancues are late in uniting, 
so that even when mature the worms have a 
short intestinal coecum. In the female the 
ovary lies in the latter half of the body. The 
uterus is very Jong, voluminous and contains 
many terminal-spined eggs some of which lie
