Cestoidea. 
T(V.nia. Foiioroisen (/. c.) undertook the investigation of the Tccnia fre- 
quenting the common goose. Biesing gives five species as lodgers in the 
intestinal tract of this bird — Tccnia setigera, T. sinuosa, T. fasciata, T. lan~ 
ceolata, and T. mallens. Of these, T. malleus was not met with, and only one 
example of T. lanceolata. T. sinuosa is very difficult to distinguish from 
T. setigera^ and may have been passed over as this species. T. fasciata and 
T. setigera were commonly met with ; the former resided in the upper por- 
tion, the latter in the lower portion of the intestines. Very full anatomical 
details are given of these species. 
Tcenia villosa, Bloch, is described by Krabbe, 1. c., and figured; a figure is 
also given of the joints of Tcmia infundihidiformis, from Otis tarda, in 
Rudolphi’s collection. 
Idiogenes, g. n., Krabbe, 1. c. p. 126. Head apparently wanting, but 
anterior region (first six or seven joints) furnished with finger-like pro- 
cesses ; number of joints from 30 to 100; 20 to 30 millims. in length. I. 
oiidcs, sp. n., Krabbe, 1. e. p. 120, from Otis tarda (figured). 
Krabbe, 1. <?., describes the following new species: — Pothriocephahis fuscus, 
1. c. p. 372 ; B. lanceolatus, p. 378, in Phoca harhata', B. clegans, 1. c. p. 378; 
B. variahilis, 1. c. p. 378, in P. harhata] B. fasciatus, 1. c. p. 879, in P. hispida] 
B. similis, 1. c. p. 379.

Trematoda*. 
Monostoma isahellinum, sp. n., Ratzel, 1. c. p. 153, found in the inner 
portion of the skull of Gadus ccglejinus, Linn. 
* By an oversight in the arrnngement of the MS., the references to the 
papers on Trichinfe were placed under the section of the Trematodes instead 
of the Nematodes in the ‘Zoological Record’ for 1867.
