WHICH DIED IN THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, 927 



species, and therefore should be included in the genus 

 EchinocoGcus. The specimens of adult Echinococcus collected 

 from the small intestine of the Cape Hunting Dog {Lycaon 

 capensis) agree with the broad diagnosis as given by Hall except 

 in regard to the eggs and the hooks. The eggs in my material 

 measure 50 yu x 40 /x, whereas Hall gives 36 /x X 30 // as the 

 maximum. The shape of the hooks in my material differs con- 

 siderably from the figures of Leuckart and Stiles, the notch 

 between the handle and the guard being exceedingly deep. 



I have diagnosed my specimens as Echinococcus granulosus, 

 but I do so provisionally, feeling that further study and com- 

 parison with forms from other hosts may prove them to be 

 another species. 



Until a careful comparison is made of material from Australia, 

 South America, Africa, and Europe it would be unwise to make 

 any definite decision.
