Extract
Host and Record. At least four specimens of the parasite were found attached to the sides and belly of a sail-fish Histiophorus gladius Day caught off the south coast of Ceylon. I was fortunate enough to obtain two of these, both females, complete except for the egg strings. They measured 135 mm. and 157 mm. in their total lengths. One of them, the smaller, is illustrated in Fig. 1.
