Extract

The writer has found three apparently new species of trematodes in the newt, Triturus viridescens Rafinesque. The newts were collected near Durham and Lakeview, North Carolina, and a study is being made to determine if there is any seasonal periodicity in the occurrence of their parasites. It is of interest that one trematode, Opisthodiscus americanus, is the first species of its genus to be reported for North America. Only one species of Brachycælium has been reported previously for North America and another, B. trituri, is described in this paper. A new species, Gorgoderina intermedia, is also described.
