Oxyuris curvula is some- times spoken of as the "; The female ranges from 4 to 5 centi- metres in length. The body is curved, and thickest in its anterior half, while the posterior end tapers away into a very thin tail. The male is rarely seen. It is not curved, has only a short tail, and is only about 10 millimetres in length. It possesses a caudal pouch and a very fine, straight spicule. ^''^'curvula'"'''^ OA;yMm mastigodes differs from Oxyuris curvula in the remarkable length of its tail. Whether it is but an abnormal form of the former worm has been disputed. The Oxyuridse inhabit the large intestine, more especially the floating colon, rectum, and diaphragmatic flexure of the double colon. The eggs are deposited in the neighbourhood of the anus in the form of a yellow.
