'.'<<\. .\xnirix (inoiini, Dujardin (Path. Hist., 773), 

 in large numbers with the feces of a living pytlion, Pi/tlion 

 ri'ticitlalux, in (lie collection of the Zoological (.ianlens. 



:!7. 7/r/m//r/.v /;/>///<, (Hloch) (Path. Hist, 1615), 

 from the ceca of a golden pheasant, Cliryaolophus pictus 

 (P. Z. <i. Lah., 1055). 



:;s. llrti'nikix lu-rxpirillnm, (Hudolphi) (I'ath. Mils., 21), 

 from the intestine of domestic fowl, Gallus gallinaceus, 

 collected by Dr. S. H. Grant, in Texas. Another, but 

 unrecorded, instance of this parasite was submitted for 

 identification by Dr. L. L. Powell in the summer of 1905, 

 the worm having been found in an egg of a domestic fowl 

 in this city. Such inclusions of intestinal worms in eggs 

 usually creates considerable wonderment, but is no very rare 

 occurrence. The worm, piissing by way of the cloaca of the 

 fowl into the oviduct, comes to be mingled with the albumen 

 and encased by the shell of the egg. 



.'59. Oxyuris vermiculari-s, (Linn.) (Path. Mus., 4), is 

 recorded as met in numbers in an appendix vermiformis 

 removed by Dr. J. G. Clark from a woman in the University 

 1 lospital, the parasites having very possibly been an important 

 factor in exciting the symptoms of appendicitis leading to 

 operation. In addition to this instance a number of other 

 groups of the same worm have been submitted for identifica- 

 tion from time to time, but for some reason, presumably 

 because of their frequence and ease of recognition, were not 

 recorded. 



40. Oxyuris equi, Schrank (Path. Mus., 8), collected by 

 Dr. J. J. Repp, in Iowa, from the colon of a horse, Equus 

 caballus. 



41. Oxyuris megatyphlon, (Rudolphi) (Path. Hist., 776), 

 from the large intestine of an iguana, Iguana tulwrculata, 

 in the collection of the Zoological Gardens. 



42. Oxyuris microtyphlon, n. s. (Path. Hist., 1121), from 

 the large intestine of a Cuban iguana, Cyclura nubila (P. Z. G. 

 Lab., 827). For detailed description, see special article in 

 this journal (p. 52).
