Extract

(1) Eight species of furcocercous cercariae have been found during a 3-year study of the trematode larvae harboured by certain fresh-water molluscs in Glamorganshire. Of these four are new species, two have previously been reported from South Wales by Rees (1932) and the remaining two species have been recorded in Europe but not in Britain.

(2) Detailed descriptions are given of the four new species and the last two species which had not been completely described hitherto. The life cycles, as far as are known, of all the the species are outlined; the mollusc hosts are listed and for each cercaria a comparison with related species is given.

(3) C. hamburgensis Komiya has been proved experimentally to be the larva of Apatemon gracilis minor Yam. and according to the law of priority becomes C. a.g. minor.
