Extract

Through the kindness of Dr S. W. Kemp, F.R.S., and of the Discovery Committee, the writer has recently had the opportunity of examining examples of a species of Uncinaria from the intestine of a sea-lion. These were collected by Mr J. E. Hamilton, of the Discovery staff, at Cape Dolphin in the Falkland Islands, in April 1931. The host was a sea-lion pup, about three months old, which was found dead on the beach, and it was suspected that the worms were concerned in the causation of its death.
