Extract

A male and a female of a species of Syngamus were found in copula in the small intestine, about 1 in. from the gizzard, of a fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) which had been shot accidentally. The nematodes were well preserved and were undamaged. Eighty-four small tapeworms, of two different genera, were also present in the intestine. Neither the tapeworms nor the nematodes were attached to the intestinal wall.
