Extract

In my report on the Entozoa, brought home by the “Challenger” expedition, I described two new species as Tetrabothrium torulosum (from Diomedea brachyura) and Tetrabothrium auriculatum (from Thalassœca glacialis and Daption capensis) My descriptions have recently been subjected to adverse criticism by Fuhrmann, who maintains that these two species do not belong to the genus Tetrabothrium, but to the genus Prosthecocotyle; that Tetrabothrium auriculatum is identical with Tetrabothrium (Amphoterocotyle) elegans-heteroclitum, Diesing; that these two Cestodes are not Tetrabothria but typical Tœnice; that my drawing of the scolex of Tetrdbothrium torulosum does not correspond with the actual relations; and that my representation of the masculine genital organs of Tetrabothrium auriculatum is inaccurate.
