XLV. — Some new Entozoa from Birds in Uganda. 

 By H. A. Baylis, M.A. 



(Published by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.) 



Through the kindness of Dr. G. A. K. Marshall I have 

 been enabled to examine a collection containinf^ examples oh' 

 eifi;ht 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 whicii 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. (xowdey has been remarkably successful 

 in obtaining comj)lete and well-preserved specirn'Mis. 



The types will be d<'])Osited in the helminthological 

 collection of the British Museum (Natural History). 



Nematoda. 

 1. AscaHs coliira *, sp. n. 



Host : Lophoaetus occipitalis. 



Two female specimens of an Ascarid from this host occur 

 in the collection. Both are of almut the .same dimensions : 

 length 46 mm., maximum thickness 1 mm. Tiio tran-sverse 

 striations of the cuticle are very tine and not very distinct. 

 The body tapers graduilly anteriorly and ver}' suddenly 

 posteriorly. Just behind the lips the thickness of the neck 

 is 0*5 mm. There is practically no tail, the posterior end 



* K6\ovpoi, dock-tailed, stump-tailed.
