Extract

While engaged on work with the Filariasis Commission in British Guiana in 1921, under the direction of Professor R. T. Leiper, the writer had occasion to examine a number of birds and mammals, and from these eleven species of Entozoa were collected. Three species are new to science, and one of these, an Oxyurid from Pithecia monachus, has been placed in a new genus Trypanoxyuris.
