Habitat: Bark of a great variety of trees set cph ht set cph suta ad 

 in many parts of the eastern United States; 

 on "Spanish Moss," Miami, Florida. Flem- .^ ^ 

 ming's solution to glycerine jelly. This 

 genus comprises a considerable number of ^ 

 species, all with a hooked caudal extremity. 

 The species vary considerably in the labial , 

 accessories. The present species has the ^ 

 strongest mandibles so far known in the 

 genus. These nemas are highly resistant w 

 to drought and cold, and may be kept on 

 dried bark for several years and then be ' m ^ 

 fully revived by soaking the bark in water. 

 They may be repeatedly frozen in and 

 thawed out without injury. Recently 

 revived specimens are mostly immature d nm 

 and seem to present an empty intestinal 

 canal, suggesting that on the approach of gj an 

 untoward conditions, they evacuate the 

 canal. Not infrequently, the lip-region of 

 revived specimens appears to exhibit a

 pluglike accession, seen also in the mouth opening of similarly revived Cepha- 

 lobi. The opening is protected during "suspended animation" by means of this 

 dried-up evacuation from the oesophagus. Fig. 64a, p. 278; Fig. 646. 



The name of this remarkable genus, the abundant species of which are widely 

 distributed on trees, commemorates the classic work in this field of Mr. W. E. 

 Chambers, through whose untimely death science has lost one of its greatest 

 graphic interpreters.
