This sporozoan infests the red-blood corpuscles. It was 

 first published under the name H. nettionis, a "lapsus 

 calami " for the genitive H. uettli.

 Krefft gives Anas punctata as the host of this worm. 

 Mr. North informed me that the name of this species is 

 N. castaneum, Eyton. Linstow does not mention this 

 host in the Supplement to his Compendium.

 This tapeworm was indifferently described by Krefft as 

 Taenia tuberculata. Monticelli 1 regarded it as a synonym 

 of Taenia bifaria v. Sieb. In 1891 Blauchard" suggested 

 that it might belong to the genus Ophnjocotyle. Diamare* 

 in 1900 referred to the imperfect account given by Krefft. 

 Fuhrmann 4 in 1906 showed that T. bifaria was identical 

 with Diploposthe lacvis, Bloch, and stated that T. tuber- 

 culata was almost certainly a Diploposthe and perhaps 

 synonymous with D. laevis, though the wide difference in 

 the geographical distribution of the hosts in each case led
