Extract

The trematode described in this paper was found by Dr Alexander Brown, British Central Africa, in the stomach of a Rhodesian hartebeest (Bubalis sp.). About 120 specimens were collected and placed at my disposal for investigation by Dr John Rennie, Lecturer on Parasitology in this University, to whom I am much indebted for the use of the interesting material. The specimens proved to belong to a new species to which the name Gastrothylax bubalis has been given. Although a fuller knowledge of recorded species rather than the recovery of new trematodes is to be desired, it is hoped that the description of this parasite may be interesting from the fact that the genus includes only ten other known species.
