From common eel {AnguiUa chri/soija).Several strobiles but in bad state of preservation ; no scolices; anterior ends have been exceedingly long and slender.The characteristic dilatations of this species can not be proved from these specimens.The general appearance of the strobiles, as well as the character of the segments, however, agrees with this species.It may be added that the segments of these specimens agree with Moliu's description of his T. hemisplieriea.With the evidence at hand, however, I do not feel justified in uniting the two species of T. dilatata and T. kennspherica.3.
