Extract

During a study of the larval trematodes infecting the fresh-water molluscs of Llangorse Lake, South Wales, twenty-one species of cercariae have been encountered. The present paper deals with the Furcocercariae. Six new species are described in detail and the remaining two compared with the description of previous workers.
