be perceived by the descriptions which we have given above, 
the salivary glands of the Dachmius trigonocephalus , Duj., and 
those of the Sclerostoma hypostomum , Duj., are not situated on 
same level. They are remarkable for their elongated form, 
their conical cut de sac which terminates posteriorly, and 
more particularly by the nucleus which is perceived in their 
centre. Their excretory canals offer nothing worthy of notice. 
The salivary glands of the Strongylus filari a, Rud., belong to 
the same type as those of the Sclerostoma. They are spindle- 
shaped, elongated, and diminish towards their cvd de sac , 
attenuated anteriorly into a thin canal which terminates in 
the mouth. They are placed a little below the inferior part 
of the oesophagus. It is not the same with the Occyuris 
curvula. In the nematoid the salivary glands are in the form 
of small round vesicles, nearly globular, they are placed 
towards the middle of the oesophagus, and form a small, some¬ 
what sinuous canal, which opens at the bottom of the mouth. 
This paper is accompanied by woodcuts representing the 
salivary apparatus in the various species.
