accessible for reference. At the same time, MS. lists of the 

 Trematocla, Cestoda and Turbellaria, and of the Nematomorpha, 

 have been compiled, the nomenclature being to a large extent 

 brought up to date. The spirit in most of the bottles containing 

 these collections has been renewed. 



Many specimens have, while this work was proceeding, been

 accessible and generally useful. This statement applies mainly 

 to the Cestoda and some of the small Nematoda.
