Extract

In June, 1931 a small collection of parasites from the Prosectorium of the Zoological Gardens of London was found to contain a number of long slender filaria worms from the peritoneal cavity of a tree Kangaroo. Upon examination these worms appeared to represent a new species of the genus Breinlia which was erected by Yorke and Maplestone in 1926 to contain Filaria trichosuri Breinl, 1911 (not 1913 as quoted by Yorke and Maplestone), from the abdominal cavity of the Australian opossum (Trichosurus vulpecula Kerr).
