Extract

The trematodes described in this paper were collected by Miss Reynolds and myself from Corvus insolens, a Burmese house-crow, specimens of which contained many parasites of different species, all being minute except in two cases. They were obtained by washing the intestines after opening them in luke-warm water in a large glass basin, whence they were removed by means of a pipette, being readily identified owing to their slight movements. Those occurring in the liver were obtained by teasing that organ in luke-warm water. Table I records the results of the examination of five crows for parasites. I am indebted to Miss Reynolds for the help she gave me in placing the material she collected at my disposal.
