Extract

The material upon which this addition to the ever-growing genus Enlerobius is based, was collected from the cæcum and large intestine of two marmosets which died at the London Zoological Gardens during the winter of 1931–32. The material came to me in the course of the routine examination of Helminthological material from the Prosectorium, and as the genus is one of importance in relation to human hygiene, this species seems to the writer to merit a brief description.
