In these papers Diesing brings to a close bis revision of all 
the orders of the worms without bristles (die borstenlose 
Wurmer), which be commenced in the pages of the Journal of 
the Vienna Academy in 1853. The present papers treat of the 
Prothelmintba, which order contains two suborders, (1) Masti- 
gophora and (2) Amastiga ; and these are divided into twenty 
families and 161 genera. The Prothelmintba of Diesing will 
be the same as the Infusoria of Stein, excluding the VorticeUina, 
Ophrydinaj Acmetina, and Optdina, but including the Vol- 
vocinea.
