Extract

From the small intestine of a lynx, Lynx canadensis, killed in the vicinity of Minneapolis, Minnesota, four strobilae and two fragments of an undescribed taenioid cestode were recovered. The largest of these tapeworms, which is the only one containing segments in all stages of development, measures 31 cm. in length and contains 253 proglottids; the other three strobilae measure 8, 26 and 30 mm. in length, respectively. The two fragments, one consisting of three and the other of eight ripe proglottids, apparently are segments from the largest one of these four strobilae.
