July 27, one. Dimension in millimeters, life: Length 6; diameter, 

 anterior 0.45, at base of esophagus O.IH), middle 1, 1 millimeter from 

 posterior end 0.90, at anal aperture 0.22; esophagus, length 1.20,

ICHTHYONEMA GLOBICEPS Rudolphi. 



The flesh of two specimens of Tylot^tiru.s acKd, which were examined 

 on July 16, was found to be tilled with parasitic worms. 



These worms were very numerous in both gars, and were most 

 abundant near the backbone, where they were distributed along the 

 greater part of the length. The color of the worms was blood-red, 

 and, since many of them were in tangled clusters, the appearance 

 which the}^ presented when the flesh was cut open was much like that 

 of small blood vessels gorged with blood. With some difficulty some 

 of the worms were extracted whole and found, after killing and 

 straightening, to be about 80 mm. in length. All that were examined 

 were females. 



While the general color was blood-red, the intestine showed as a 

 dark-brown stripe. In most cases the uterus was crowded with young, 

 which were in a state of unceasing activity. The young worms were 

 characterized by having a few black, granular spots in the middle of 

 the bod3^ In some of the adults ova, with what were taken to be sper- 

 matozoa, were seen mingled together in the uterus. 



Dimensions of specimen mounted in balsam: Length 55; diameter 

 of head 0.19; diameter of body nearly uniform, diflerences due mainly 

 to contraction and pressure from 0.15 to 0.70.
