Extract

The results of the examination for helminth parasites of 146 Larus ridibundus, ten L. argentalus and eight L. fuscus are presented. Thirty-six parasite species were found, 27 from L. ridibundus, 21 from L. argentatus and 19 from L. fuscus. The trematodes Apophallus muhlingi, Aporchis massiliensis, Brachylecithum microtesticulatum, Knipowitschetrema echinatum, and Philophthalmus lucipetus are described. A list of British records of helminth parasites from L. ridibundus, L. argentatus and L. fuscus is appended.
