Extract

I am indebted to my friends, Messrs M. A. Moghe, of the College of Science, Nagpur, and W. V. Nene, Officer-in-charge of the Time-Ball Observatory, Rangoon, for the material described in this paper. The trematodes were obtained by the former from the duodenum of Uromastix hardwickii (the spinytailed lizard) brought to Nagpur from Northern India, and Mr Nene gave me the tortoise, Batagur baska, which was found to be heavily parasitised with nematodes, along with two flukes. In both instances the trematodes proved new to science.
