2. Another specimen (x 2 diam.) with the dorsal surface exposed.— Blanchard. 



3. The same viewed laterally. — Blanchard. 



4. Part of the female series of reproductive organs, isolated to show the connec-

 diam.). — Altered from Blanchard. 



5. Male reproductive organs (x 12 diam.).— Altered from Blanchard in accordance 



with an original dissection. 



6. Egg of an Amphistoma taken from the paunch (rumen) of a zebu, formerly 



living in the Zoological Society's Menagerie, Eegent's Park (x about 80
