gall bladder and hepatic ducts of Livingstone's Eland 
and in the ducts and intestines of two Cape Hyraces. 
This makes our third case in a Hyrax. Beddard has 
also seen them in the London Gardens, and identifies 
the following new species: — Inermicapsifer capensis, 
Hyracotenia procavice, and H. hyracis. Other writers 
have identified several species, many of which may be 
separated from each other only by tedious microscopic 
examination. 
Intes'inal Blockage form Boluses of Worms. This was 
noted in a Natal Francolin and a Blackbird. Similarly 
a bolus of worms was found in the pylorus of two young 
Aoudads. These findings are worth noting as evidence 
of the disease-producing capacity of intestinal worms. 
Hookworms in the Liver of Giraffe. This is the second 
time that we have met this condition. The parasite 
from the first case was named Uncinaria smithi as a 
new species. It induces notable chronic catarrhal in- 
flammation of the bile-ducts with fibrosis around them. 
Heterakis distans in Marmosets. Dr. Allen J. Smith 
identified this hookworm-like parasite occurring in the 
stomach and cecum of two Pinche Marmosets. This 
brings up the matter of the worm parasites of monkeys 
in general. In compiling certain statistics recently it 
developed that marmosets and squirrel monkeys were 
much more commonly affected than other kinds of 
primates. 
Verminous Infestation of Monkeys in General. The 
statistics just referred to brought out that, on the basis 
of 538 primates examined, the general average of infest- 
ment was ten per cent. The following kinds stood in 
the head of the list (year ending February 28, 1922).
