(Path. Mus., 18) and from Philadelphia from the veterinary 

 hospital of this university, and also from a jaguarundi (Path. 

 Hist., 1662), Felis jaguarundi (P. Z. G. Lab., 1157), received 

 from a dealer, shortly before its death, into the collection of 

 the Zoological Gardens. 



31. Ascaris leptoptera, Rudolphi. Under the name Ascaris 

 leptoptera round worms closely related to Ascaris canis have 

 been described from a number of the larger cats, but there 

 has always existed a lack of uniformity of description, which 

 has long given the idea that several varieties and possibly 

 several species have been confused under the name. Two 

 instances of these parasites are included in the present list, 

 both from lions (Path. Hist., 1102, 1148), in one case obtained 

 at autopsy from the stomach and intestines of a lioness 

 (P. Z. G. Lab., 794), and in the other found in the feces of a 

 living lion in the collection of the Zoological Gardens. The 

 worms from the two animals are identical, and to the writer's 

 mind present sufficient peculiarity to permit them to be 

 regarded as constituting a new variety. For full description, 

 see special article in this journal (p. 43). 



32. Ascaris aquillce, n. s. (Path. Hist., 1637), from the pro- 

 ventricle of a bald eagle, Halicetus leucocephalus (P. Z. G. 

 Lab., 959). For description of these specimens, see special 

 article in this journal (p. 48). 



33. Ascaris serpentulus, Rudolphi (Path. Hist., 1683), 

 from the intestine of a demoiselle crane, Anthropoides virgo 

 (P. Z. G. Lab., 1165), a European crane which had been 

 in the Gardens for about three months. 



34. Ascaris ardece, n. s. (Path. Hist., 1681), from the 

 intestine of a blue heron, Ardea herodias (P. Z. G. Lab., 1158). 

 This bird was also the host of the T. unilateralis, Dujardin, 

 above mentioned (16) and an undescribed species of dis- 

 pharagus. For detailed description, see special article in 

 this journal (p. 50). 



35. Ascaris rubicunda, A. Schneider (Path.- Hist., 1677), 

 in large numbers from the intestine of an Indian python, 

 Python molurus (P. Z. G. Lab., 1122).
