Extract
1. The anatomy of three digenetic trematodes from Conger conger (Linn.), Skrjabiniella aculeatus (Odhner), Lecithochirium rufoviride (Rud.) and Sterrhurus fusiformis (Luhe) has been described. The technique employed is given, and in each case the history of the species has been traced.
2. The discussion on the nomenclature of Skrjabiniella aculeatus explains why this generic name used by Issaitschikow (1928) has been adopted in this work in place of Prosorhynchus, and a key to the genera Prosorhynchus s.str. and Skrjabiniella has been suggested. A table showing the proposed division of Odhner's genus Prosorhynchus is included.
3. In the discussion on the hemiurid worms it is pointed out that there is no sound basis for the separation of the genera Lecithochirium and Sterrhurus as they stand.
