Extract
Habitat and Record. During November 1924, by the courtesy of Seizo Takeda, I received from the Yogyo Shikenjyo (Piscicultural Experiment Station) at Kitajima near Toyohashi, Japan, the head of a small Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, whose buccal cavity appeared to be completely filled with about forty parasites belonging to the genus usually known as Lernaeocera, but to which Wilson (1917, p. 3) has given reasons for restoring the name Lernaea Linnaeus. (See Note, p. 251.)
