Extract

Amongst the unidentified material in the nematode collections of the British Museum (Natural History) was the remainder of a collection, made by Dr. D. R. R. Burt from reptiles in Ceylon. One new species is now described and a list of seven previously known species is given below. In addition it is convenient to include the description of a new species of the genus Kalicephalus based on specimens obtained from a Varanus bengalensis which died at the Zoological Gardens, London, since the normal geographical distribution of this host is Ceylon and India.
