 one of us from the blood of various camels in the same part 

 of West Australia. These embryos 1 of F. evansi are of 

 about the same length (0*23 mm.), but are much broader 

 (O'OOG mm.). In addition the tail is relatively larger and 

 has a rounded end, whereas in the embryos of F. yiltsoni it 

 is very finely pointed. Then again the relations of the nerve 

 ring and anus are different. Fine ambulations are present 

 in both. 



E. and E. Sergent 2 mention that in Algeria a filarial 

 embryo occurs commonly in the blood of camels which show 

 subcutaneous abscesses, the latter being possibly due to 

 the death and disintegration of the parent worms. The 

 size of the embryos is given as 0*25 mm. long by 0'008 - 0-01 

 mm. in width with an obtuse anterior extremity and a 

 moderately tapering tail. Thus these do not agree with
