Extract

The present paper is the outcome of my examination of a collection of trematodes from various parts of Japan (including Formosa). The species of monostome came from a turtle caught in Singapore. Of the material certain species are left unidentified chiefly owing to the paucity of specimens. It may be mentioned that in the following description the parasites are arranged according to their hosts.

My species resembles Eurytrema brumpti, as described by these authors, but differs from the latter in the smaller number of its vitelline glands and in the weaker development of the uterus.Google Scholar

After my observation this so-called receptaculum seminia is nothing less than the blindly-ending Laurer's canal which is surrounded by a mass of vesicular cells. A diagrammatic figure of this part is given in P1. XXV, fig. 6. A similar structure is met with in Distomum sp. from Muraenesox cinereus, Brachyphallus sp., Lecithocladium sp. and Didymozoon sp., according to my observations.Google Scholar
