Extract

The following is a description of a new species of Grillotia from the intestine of Hexanchus grisens (Gmelin) caught on the Porcupine Bank in July 1939 (Rees & Llewellyn, 1941). Unfortunately, only two specimens were obtained, but, as it is unlikely that any more will be available for some time to come, it was thought advisable that the species should be put on record. The scolex includes some distinctive characters, but the strobila in both worms was immature, so that no description of the arrangement of the genitalia can be given beyond the position of the genital pore and the approximate number of testes.
