 VERMES. 



Cucullanus globosus in the Derwent. — In May 1912, 

 I took from the stomach of a trout caught in the Derwent, at 

 Forge Valley, a bright, coral-red parasitic worm, 3I inches in 

 length. In the following month I found another similar 

 specimen in the stomach of a trout caught in the Derwent near 

 Hackness, the colouring in this individual not being quite so 

 brilliant. I sent these to Prof. Nuttall, of Cambridge, 

 who in turn submitted them to Dr. A. E. Shipley, who states 

 that the worm is Cucitllamts globosus, a very rare species. An 

 account of these worms will, I believe, appear in the Journal of 

 Parasitology. — Wm. J. Clarke, F.Z.S., Scarborough.
