the other end. I can perceive no papillae around the end of the head. 

 End of the body rather more incurved than in the female, bluntly 

 conical ; penis forming a single spiculum, a little curved, and inclosed in 

 a bivalved sheath, one valve being truncate and the other pointed, and 

 reaching nearer the end of the penis than the truncate valve. 



Length .40 inch. Two individuals. 



Female. — (Fig. 03, b, magnified ten times.) Over twice as large as 

 the male ; the body short and thick ; the head subacutely cofiical, with no 

 papillpe that I can see; end of the body obtuse; extreme tip slightly

Eustroncjiilus eJiordeiUs, n. sp. (Fig. 64, magnified ten times.) 



An outline figure of a worm, generically identical with IJ. hitteonis, is 

 introduced in order to bring out more clearly the specific characters of 

 the latter species. Two females were taken by Mr. 0. A. Walker "from 

 the brain of the night-hawk, [Ghordeilis VirfiinianuSj) shot in June, at 

 Campton, New Hampshire, and presented to the museum of the Peabody 

 Academy of Science, at Salem, Massachusetts. It is a much slenderer 

 form than E. huteonis, but much shorter and thicker than the species 

 described and figured by Professor Wyman. Both ends of the body are 

 much alike, the anal end being much more pointed than in E. h^ifeonis, 

 and the anterior end of the body less tapering. 

 Length .70 inch.
