Through the courtesy of Major Brittlebank, AVC, we have had the opportunity of examining for parasitic worms a number of horses which had recently come from the United States of America and which had died shortly after arrival in this country. Infection with StTongylidae was, in the opinion of the veterinary surgeons, the cause of death.On post-mortem examination large numbers of many different species of StTongylidae were found in the caecum and colon. We propose in a series of notes to enumerate the species found, an~ to describe those which have not hitherto been recognised. Technique. The worms, which were removed from the intestine as soon after death as possible, were fixed in hot 70 per cent. alcohol. They were subsequently slowly impregnated with glycerine by placing them in a solution of 70 per cent. alcohol containing 5 per cent. glycerine and allowing the alcohol to evaporate off at 37 C.; when impregnation was complete they were mounted in glycerine jelly (vide Looss, 1901). In the following descriptions, terms such as' long'or'short'having a purely relative value are, so far as possible, replaced or supplemented by figures obtained by actual measurement. For example, it is of little value to know that the oesophagus or dorsal
