Extract

Four specimens of this trematode were obtained from the small intestine of Kachuga smithii in December 1929. Two of the specimens were not sexually mature; for thought they possessed well-developed testes, ovary and a very small receptaculum seminis, they lacked the uterus and ova. In one of these immature specimens the vitellarian follicles were very feebly developed.
