Extract

The material upon which this study is based was obtained from a Grey Sand-Hamster (Cricetulus griseus) which died in captivity at the experimental farm of the Institute of Agricultural Parasitology. Several examples of two species of hamster were received from Dr. Hindle on his return from China, the specimen furnishing the worms being one of these. On death a post-mortem examination of the animal was made and the cestodes removed and preserved in dilute formalin. Some weeks subsequently the parasites were examined and found to differ from the descriptions of other species of Hymenolepis encountered in hamsters and the present study was entered upon.
