whole bursa is broader tlian it is long. It is ^)^'^ mm. in 

 lenntli and ()"5 mm. in hieadtli. Tlic ventral ray is bifid, 

 and arises se|)arately from the lateral ray. The three 

 branches of the lateral ray diverge widely from eaeh other. 

 The dorso-latcral ray separates at a higher level than the 

 other two rays. The exteruo-dorsal ray arises in common 

 with the dorsal. It ends a little distance away from tlie 

 edge of tiie bursa. The dorsal ray is 18 mm. in length. 

 It divides near its termination, luieh of its two divisions 

 has a tridigitate end like the serration of a saw (tig. 5). 



The genital cone has a blunt a|)ex. It does not protrude 

 freely into the cavity of the bursa. 



The two spicules are equal and similar in shape. They 

 are very long and slender, being 1'9 mm. in length. They 

 are curved in part of their course. Their termination is 

 tilifornij and ap[)arently the two si)iculcs are united at their 

 tip. There is an accessory piece Oi mm. in length (fig. G). 



The posterior end of the female was not secured entire. 

 The tail is short, and the vulva lies in the posterior third of 

 the body. The female is oviparous. The ova are 72 fi long 

 and Ao fj, broad. They are voided in the unicellular stage. 



llubitat. Submucous nodules in the small and large 

 intestine of Felis neiulusa (leopard) from the .Malay States. 



Patiiologv. 

 The lumeu of the intestine of the animal contained a 

 large amount of mucus tinged with blood. The mucus 

 surface of the large intestine especially was studdi-d with 

 hard nodules, about 1 em. in diameter, projecting into the 

 lumen> Their surface was covered with a thick layer of 

 mucus. On being scraped the surface of the nodule was 

 found to be smooth, with one or more minute openings at 

 its apex. Tiiese were visible on account of the red -colour 

 of the contents oozing from them. The nodules did not pro- 

 ject on the serous surface of the intestine to the same extent. 

 On section the hard tumour was found to be traversed with 

 a convoluted canal tinged red with blood. The adult para- 

 sites lie along these tracts commonly two in each tumour. 

 ' Microscopical examination of the contents of these canals 

 levealed eggs and larvre in different stages of development. 

 Similar larva? were found in the lumen of the gut. The 

 extravasated blood was in the process of disintegration. 



On examination of sections made from these tumours, the 

 mucus membrane covering the tumour was found to be 

 intact, but extremely atrophied, the tumour lying com- 

 pletely in the submucus tissue. The muscular layers of the
