Extract

Up to the present time, so far as the writer is aware, there has been no previous British record of galls on a moss caused by a nematode although cecidologists have reported galls of nematode origin on 52 species of moss on the continent of Europe (see Goodey, 1940). Except in the case of Hypnum cupressiforme L. and Thuidium delicatulum (L.) Hedw., in which the causal parasite is Anguillulina askenasyi (Bütschli, 1873), the specific identity of the worms affecting the other 50 species has not been determined though it is probable that in all cases they belong to the genus Anguillulina.
