Extract

Habitat and Record. By the courtesy of G. Evelyn Hutchinson of Yale University, I have received and examined a new species of Lernaea collected by him on 7. iv. 1928 on a small Barbus, which had lost all its scales and was too young for specific identification, from an alkaline pan in the Transvaal, S. Africa. For the purpose of comparison reference will be made to L. elegans described by me, Parasitology, 1925, 17, 246.
