 Numerous specimens of the larvae of this form were given me 

 by Dr. Harmer. The young ISTematoiles were partly free and 

 partly encapsuled, and in both cases they were much coiled. 

 They were found in the tissues of a Scabbard -fish {Lepidopus 

 caudatus), and are labelled " Portugal, Dec. 1903." 



This species has been described from Lepidojnos argyreus Ouv., 

 Gcodus moi-rhua, Aphanopus carbo, Scomber scomber, Lojyhms 

 piscatorius, Trigla gurnardibs, Ct/clopiertts lumpus, and many 

 other fishes.

Two smallish specimens, one male and one female, were taken

Filaria foveata Schneider. 



Schneider, Monographie der Nematoden, 1866. 



My specimens were sent me by Mr. Rosenbei'g, the naturalist, 

 of Haverstock Hill, London ; they were found in the orbit — " entre 

 craneo y cuero" — of an Asia brachyoUis, shot at Tucuman in the 

 Argentine Republic. Schneider records specimens from the same 

 bii'd, which he calls by the old name of yEgolius brachyoius, but 

 he does not mention in what part of the bird they were found. 

 In the British Museum Catalogue the bird is registered under the 

 name Asia accipitrinus.
