Extract

The trematodes of this report were killed in hot water, transferred immediately to Lavdowsky's FAA fixative for 24 hours, and then stored in 70% alcohol plus 2% glycerine. Whole mounts were stained in Mayer's carmalum and mounted in permount. Specimens have been deposited in the U.S. National Museum Helminthological Collection as indicated. All measurements are in microns (ftm).
