Extract

The following description of a new species of the genus Oswaldocruzia is based on the examination of a considerable number of specimens collected from the intestines of 80 newts caught at Aberystwyth. They were found to be equally common in the Smooth Newt (Molge vulgaris Linn.) and the Palmate Newt (Molge palmata Dum. and Bibr.).
