 (Brisbane).

Hymenolepis diminuta Rud. J. 1918 (Sydney). 



Rats (unspecified). 



Trypanosoma lewisi Kent. Bancroft 1888, p. 31 (as 

 H cematomonas sp. — Brisbane) ; Cleland 1906a, p. 519 

 (W.A.) ; Breinl 1913, p. 30 (in 15% of rats examined, N.Q.).

Tcenia sp. Cleland 1906a, p. 518 (W.A.). I have

 p. 206 ; Cleland, 1906a, p. 518 (as Tcenia sp. from rat's liver 

 W.A.). The presence of the adult worm in cats in Melbourne 

 (J. 19106, p. 80) is sufficient evidence for concluding that the 

 Cysticercus ( C. fasciolaris) occurs in Victorian rats and mice. 



Hymenolepis diminuta R. The occurrence of the 

 cysticercoid stage of this cestode in the rat flea, Gerato- 

 phyllus fasciatus in Melbourne (J. 1912a, p. 70) is evidence 

 that the adult is to be found in Victorian rats and mice. 



Hormorhynchus moniliformis Br. Nicoll, 1914 (N.Q.).
