Parasitism. In several specimens the bo(l\- cavity was partly filled with a nematod, which 

 was very distinct throngh the skin on account of its white colonr: this parasite was observed in a young 

 female from Thor vSt. 153, in 5 f$ from St. 1S3 and in one from St. 82, and mag. sci. Hj. Ditlevsen 

 has kindly infttrmed me that it is a larval stage, the exact determination of which is impossible on 

 account of Ijad conservation.
