Mr Shipley, Notes on a Collection of Parasites, etc. 95 



Notes on a Collection of Parasites belonging to the Museum of 

 University College, Dundee. By A. E. Shipley, M.A., F.R.S., 

 Fellow and Tutor of Christ's College, Cambridge, and University 

 Lecturer in the Morphology of the Invertebrata. 



[Received 7 March 1905.] 



This collection of parasites was handed to me some consider- 

 able time ago for determination ; in working them out I have in 

 many cases consulted Dr von Linstow to whom I owe my best 

 thanks for his ready help. The collection contained fifteen species 

 of Nematoda of which eleven belonged to the genus Ascaris and 

 ten species of Cestoda of which five belonged to the genus 

 Bothriocephalus. 



As befits an important centre of the whaling industry the 

 parasites collected in the Museum at Dundee are largely taken 

 from marine animals. The seal, the walrus, the narwhal, the 

 dolphin, several fishes and the cormorant figure amongst the 

 hosts. A complete list of these is given at the end of the Paper.
