collected the same species from the intestine of the above 

 named stilt, at Tailem Bend, Murray River, South Aus- 

 tralia. 



The name Taenia coronata was already used by Creplin 

 foracestodewhicli also infests Charadriid birds((E<licncmus 

 crepitans, Temm. and Au/uilite* nirosa, Cass). A com- 

 parison between Kreflt's species and tiie description of T. 

 coronata, Orepl. ( = Choanotaenia coronata, Crepl.) as given 

 by Diesing 1 and Krabbe, shows them to be. distinct. As a 

 specific name, australiensis might be given. A brief 

 examination of Ivrefft's type leads me t<> regard it as a 

 Dilcpis. Both Aculcits hciUcpi and bilcpis ausl raliensis 

 will form subjects for further study, as the Curator of the 

 Australian Museum has kindly given me access to the type 

 material. 



iii. Davainea sp. 

 I have identified as belonging to this genus some very 

 small tapeworms of about two mm. in length, and consist- 

 ing of about a dozen segments, collected by Dr. Cleland 

 from a bird shot at Tailem Bend, Murray River, South 

 Australia. 



iv. Hymenolepis sp. 

 A rather small unarmed species of this genus was also 

 collected by Dr. Cleland from the intestine of the same 

 bird. (Murray River, South Australia.)

 There is a slight doubt as to the true host of this parasite.
