It is probable that, as often happens with fishes brought to the surface from considerable depths, some of them had been so badly damaged as to allow the parasites to escape. It is unfortunately impossible to state from what species of fish they came. The length of the male is 17-75 mm., that of the mature females varying between 19-8 and 23-3 mm. The body is slender in the oeso- phageal region, and much stouter On in the posterior region, which con- ^ tains the genital organs. The maxi- mum thickness in the male (near the posterior end of the body) is 0-29 mm., in the female 0-45-0-5 mm. The oesophagus has an anterior, muscular portion which is usually much contracted and sinuous, and measures about I-I -5 mm. in length. Fig. 8. Spinitectus guntheri.
