mm. thick. Length, 5 mm. In my description given above, I 

 have largely followed the points given by Wilson in his exhaus- 

 tive account of the species.^ My examples, eight in number, were 

 all taken from the caudal fin, belly and hind portion of the body 

 of an example of Bulamia milbcrti secured at Corson's Inlet, 

 September, 1910, by Dr. R. J. Phillips These parasites were all 

 females, and were found clinging tenaciously to their host, which 

 after being placed in alcohol were easily removed. Where each 

 one was attached a small swelling was noticed on the host. 



Siib-Panuly Gauging.
