The material of the species to be described was found in a small collection of parasites from Zanzibar, placed at my disposal by Professor G. H. F. Nuttall, F.R.S., to whom I wish to express my thanks. As only a few cestodes have hitherto been recorded from East Africa and its helminth fauna is therefore largely unknown, a list of the forms identified is given at the end of the paper. I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to the Birmingham Natural History and Philosophical Society for a grant towards the expense of preparing the plates, both in this and the preceding paper (Parasitology, XIII. No. 1, March 1921, p. 1).
