Extract

While fixing a number of tapeworms (Anoplocephala perfoliata Goeze) from the small intestine of the horse, I came across a small tri-radiate specimen. This abnormality has previously been described by Neumann (2), but only briefly, and without any account of the internal anatomy. It therefore seemed advisable to compile a short account of the most salient characteristics. For the material I am indebted to Dr C. L. Boulenger, Helminthologist of this Department. I have also to thank Professor L. G. Neumann for obtaining for me a copy of his paper.
