610 DR. J. MUKIE ON A NEW TAPEWORM. [June 23, 
When more complete specimens are obtained, the characters, if a 
new species, may be better defined ; but provisionally, until more is 
known, I propose to designate it Tania magna, on account of its 
immense size or, rather, breadth.

Ato F. Segments of Tenia magna? G. Serrate overlapping margin. H. In- 
terior structure of a layer from a large joint. All about natural size. 
T@mNIA MAGNA, Sp. 0. ? 
Segments of body pale-coloured, unequal in size, and large ; flat, 
relatively thick, broader than long, and transversely ribbed or 
banded. The larger segments measure fully 13 inch broad and 1 inch 
long; the smaller segments have a diameter of an inch lengthwise 
and across; the latter with lateral convex margins, and concave at- 
tached surfaces ; other pieces are cubical in outline, some parallelo- 
piped, but the larger chiefly subquadrate. The free borders of the 
bands are wavy, at some points verging towards subcrenation. Here 
and there a band presents a partial fold on itself; the outer re- 
curved margins of the one band partially overlap that behind, giving 
a somewhat lateral serrate character to each segment. Genital out- 
let apparently on each band, and opening at the lateral border (?). 
Head and neck not known. Body supposed to increase from be- 
fore backwards to middle, or beyond, and thence to diminish. 
Habitat. Intestines of Rhinoceros (2. indicus). 
Specimens deposited in the British Museum.
