 DESCRIPTION OF PLATE XL VI. 



Linguatula dingophila. 



This plate is enlarged 6 times the size of the parasite, thus 

 affording a much better idea of what is to be seen. 



Both ends are pointed, the anterior portion being broad, and 

 gradually decreasing in size till the posterior end is reached. 



The egg-ridge is the darkly-stained centre; this, also, is 

 broad at the commencement, and tapers to a point. It extends 

 three-fourths of the total length. 



The segments or rings are well denned.
