Abstract
Of this Cestode I possess about a dozen adult specimens from one bird and nearly two dozen young specimens from another bird, preserved in the collection of the Wellcome Bureau and originally obtained, I believe, by Dr L. Sambon from the London Zoological Gardens. It is probably allied to, though certainly not identical with, the Ascometra vestita of Cholodkovsky (1912) obtained from the same host, viz. Houbara macqueeni. I have no information as to the locality from which the hosts were obtained in the present case. I shall describe the anatomy of this worm prior to discussing its systematic position.
