XLV.—Some new Entozoa from Birds in Uganda. 
By H. A. Bayuis, M.A. 
(Published by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.) 
. THroucH the kindness of Dr. G. A. K. Marshall I have 
been enabled to examine a collection containing examples of 
eight species of Nematodes and Cestodes from birds in 
Uganda. These were collected and forwarded to the Im- 
perial Bureau of Entomology by Mr. C. C. Gowdey in 1917. 
The collection includes three species of Nematodes and five 
of Cestodes, all of which are probably new to science. Two 
of the Nematodes and one of the Cestodes unfortunately 
cannot be fully described, owing to paucity of material, but 
of the remainder Mr. Gowdey has been remarkably successful 
in obtaining complete and well-preserved specimens. 
The types will be deposited in the helminthological 
collection of the British Museum (Natural History).

1. Ascaris colura™, sp. n. 
Host: Lophoaétus occipitalis. 
Two female specimens of an Ascarid from this host occur 
in the collection. Both are of about the same dimensions : 
length 46 mm., maximum thickness 1 mm, The transverse 
striations of the cuticle are very fine and not very distinct. 
The body tapers gradually anteriorly and very suddenly 
posteriorly. Just behind the lips the thickness of the neck 
is 0°} mm. ‘There is practically no tail, the posterior end
