MR. F. E. BEDDARD ON 



proglottid, such as was visible in the yovmger, smaller, example (text- 

 fig. 204). Furthermore, among the fragments was one measuring 

 nearly five inches in length, which may, for what I know to the 

 contrary, have belonged to the first mentioned individual, since it 

 consisted entirely of mature proglottids, which wei'e of greater 

 length individually than the terminal proglottids of the specimen 



Thysanotania lemuris, a second specimen. Above and to the left is the scoles: 

 more highly magnified ; below and to the right, two segments of another 

 individual showing the papilla? which bear the genital pores. 



described and figured in this communication. The longest 

 proglottids of the mature fragment were rather more than 3 mm. 

 long, and rather less than 3 cm. wide at the posterior end of the 

 proglottid, which is considerably wider than the anterior end. 



The proglottids have no fringes posteriorly such as are 

 present in Thysanosoma and provide the reason for the name 

 given.
