Extract

In the course of an investigation into the tapeworms of poultry, I came across a minute form (Amoebotaenia sphenoides von Linstow) hitherto unrecorded from this country, and incompletely described from the few specimens examined by other workers. Its economic importance remains to be ascertained but, pending a complete experimental treatment of its life-history, I submit an account of its anatomy.
