The male measures i5*5-i5 - 9 mm. in length, the female 15*0-17*4 mm. The 

 maximum thickness is 0*85-1*1 mm. The cuticular striatums are about 2 e- apart. 

 The head (figs. 45, 46) has a diameter of 

 0*2-0*23 mm. The buccal cavity 

 measures 0*14-0*15 mm. in length and 

 0*09 mm. in greatest diameter. The 

 distance from the anterior end to the end 

 of the oesophagus, including the bulb, is 

 2*6-2'85 mm. The bulb measures o*6- 

 0*65 mm. in length and 0*4-0*44 mm. 

 in diameter. The cervical papillae are at 

 1*5-1*74 mm., the nerve-ring at o - 55-o*6 

 mm., and the excretory pore at 2*2 mm., 

 from the anterior end. 



In the male, the tail (figs. 47, 48) is 

 o*45-0'5mm. long. The sucker is situated 

 at about 1*5 mm. in front of the cloaca. 

 The caudal papillae are arranged in ten 

 pairs and one median precloacal papilla. 

 Of these, four pairs are postanal (2 ventral
