iv. Taylor and Baylis, while drawing attention to ii and iii, note that their observations were made independently and without knowledge of this work, and that they confirm it. They point out thatC. elvaeMiller, 1923, is probably identical with, and so must give way in nomenclature to, C.ocellata, La Valette, 1855. They found that the cercariae had so strong a negative geotropism that they could not satisfactorily be concentrated by centrifugal precipitation. This character, with that of phototropism, point to some surface-swimming animal as the proper definitive host. This host was not discovered, but the cercaria closely resemblesBilharziella polonicawhich, as adult, inhabits the mesenteric veins of ducks. The morphology of the cercaria is beautifully illustrated in drawings by Miss REES. Cercariae penetrated mouse skin after casting their tails, and in human skin produced a ground itch persisting for weeks, but no creeping eruption. The other form, " Cercaria X, " does not annoy man, but enters small fish and reaches the optic lens. C. L.
