382 ANIMAL PAEASITES. 



Bremser also indicates the two booklets, as the pair of prominent 

 penes, and consequently what Treutter calls the anterior part 

 of the body, as the abdominal extremity, and the specimens 

 found as males. Diesing has adopted this latter idea, and has 

 also placed the worm, found in 184<5, by the army-surgeon 

 Jortsits, in Klausenberg, in Liebenbiirgen, in the substance of 

 the lungs of a boy of six years old, living partly free in the lung 

 and partly adherent to the substance of the lung, along with 

 Treutter's Hamularia subcompresm. We accede to this opinion 

 the more willingly, as the occurrence of Treutter's worm in the 

 bronchial glands, which was doubted by Rudolphi, can furnish 

 no reasons for separating these two Entozoa, as it is proved that 

 Strongyli not only dwell willingly in open cavities (bronchi, in- 

 testines), but also in neighbouring glands (glandule meseraica 

 et br one/dales). The young worms also, found by me in the lung 

 of a sheep, which lived in tuberculous nodules and glandular 

 swellings of the lungs, appear, according to Von Siebold, to have 

 been the brood of Strongyli. Diesing has treated of this worm 

 in the Genus LI, Strongylus ; Sub-division ** os limbo papilloso. 

 \Caput hand alatum, 2, bursa maris biloba, as Species 22, Stron- 

 gylus longivaginatus, and described it as follows : 



Caput truncato-conicwn hand alatum : oris limbo papillis (labiis 

 mihi) 4 6. 



Corpus subaquale rectum albofuscum, maris antrorsum, femina, 

 utrinque parum attenuatum ; ext remit ate caudali maris inflexa ; 

 bursa subcampanulata bilobata, lobo singulo 3-radiato ; vagina 

 penis bicruri, cruribus longissimis linearibus, dimidiae fere corporis 

 longitudinis, aurantiacis, transverse tenuissime striatis ; feminae 

 apice mucronata, apertura genitali supra caudte apicem. Vim-

I regret that I am unable to furnish any better figures of this 

 worm. Rokitan sky's stock contained only fragments of it. The 

 bottle belonging to it had been plundered by an unknown hand. 

 Diesing gave a denial to my request for a couple of specimens, or 

 a figure, although I offered him preparations in exchange, " be- 

 cause his new species and genera would be illustrated by figures 

 in the Memoirs of the Imperial Academy."

 of animals, see ' Annales de Med. Vet./ 1855, p. 653, and
