Extract

It is well known that free-living nematodes are of frequent occurrence in various kinds of rotting organic materials both animal and vegetable under natural conditions. In a recent investigation of the nematodes occurring in a variety of substances such as pig-manure, sheep droppings taken from pastures, soil from a chicken run, decaying leaves from a drain, etc., the writer has made use of the Baermann method (Cort and others 1922) with a good deal of success. Amongst several interesting forms obtained from samples taken from a heap of pigmanure were six worms, four females and two males, belonging to the genus Aphelenchus, which at once attracted attention by reason of certain peculiarities in their appearance. They closely resemble Aphelenchus tenuicaudatus de Man (1895) in certain anatomical features, but differ on certain points, and the writer regards them as belonging to a hitherto undescribed species.
