PART VII (EDENTATA). 



The entozoa of the edentulate mammals are not very 

 numerous. So far as I am aware only one species has been 

 described from the scaly ant-eaters (Manida). This is the 

 small and probably immature ascaris noticed by Whitefield in 

 the walls of the stomach of the badgareit or short-tailed pan- 

 golin (Manis pentadactyla). Amongst the true ant-eaters 

 (Myrmecophagida) a single round worm has also been observed, 

 but not adequately described. I allude to Marcgrav's "find" in 

 the little ant-eater (Myrmecophaga didactyla). I observe that 

 Rudolphi distinctly refers to this edentate as the tamandua. 

 Diesing does the same. The ant-eaters are much infested by a
