The lengths o£ the three female specimens are about 115, 120, and 136 mm. respectively, and the greatest thickness about 0*9 mm. The worms taper much more markedly at the posterior than at the anterior end. They have much the general appearance of a Setaria, but are without peiistomial armature. Both anterior and posterior extremities are bluntly rounded. The head (fig. 1) bears, apparently, ten Fio- 0'/ mm. Filaria ossi. The head ; lateral view. papillse. The two largest of these are lateral, while the remaining eight are arranged in submedian pairs. Each of these pairs of papillge arises by the bifurcation of a common pulp. The two button-like terminations lie one behind the other. The transverse cuticular striation is excessively fine, and only visible under a high magnitication. The length of the tail is about 0'23 mm., and the posterior end is curled ventrally. The mouth is minute and without lips. The oesophagus is very slender and measures 1*55-1'To mm. in Ann.
