Extract

Through the courtesy of Drs. C. Kulasiri and C. H. Fernando this fine collection of camallanid nematodes from freshwater fishes in Ceylon was placed at my disposal for study.

Camallanid nematodes are rather confusing in a way as several species are often found within a single host. The study is further complicated when only a few specimens of a species of either sex are found. With an extensive collection, however, these nematodes are not troublesome.
