V. SCLEROSTOMUM APPENDIGULATUM Molin. 

 Kalicephalus appendicidutus Molin. II sottordine degli Acrofalli 

 IX. 1861. 



Mem. 1st. Veneto. 



Stossich, M. Strongylidae, Boll. 

 Soc. Adriat. xix. 1899. 



Dr Willey found his specimens in 

 the oesophagus of the snake Dipsadomor- 

 phus irregularis Merrem, the " malagea " 

 of the Malays. It has previously been 

 recorded from the intestine of Xenodon 

 merremi, Spix (Ophis), Xenodon sever us, 

 L. (Coluber) ; Leptophis liocercus, Wied. 

 {Leptophis abaetulla) ; Spilotes pullatus, 

 L. ; Drymohius bifossatus, Raddi {Coluber 

 lichtensteinii); Drymohius bivittatus, Dum. 

 and Bibr. (Leptophis) 1 Rhadinaea mer- 

 remii, Wied. ; and one or two others 

 such as Ophis coeruleus and Cloelia 

 plunibea which cannot now be identified. 

 The previous hosts however are South 

 American and thus Dr Willey's find has 

 widened the geographical distribution of 

 the parasite. 



VI. GNATHOSTOMA SHIPLEYI Stossich. 



This new species of GmttJiostoma was taken from the duodenum of the Albatros, 

 Diomedea exulans L. Hitherto the members of this g-enus have not been recorded 

 from any bird. I append the description of the new species kindly furnished me by 

 Professor M. Stossich'.
