Abstract
A Preliminary outline of the life history of the lungworm of the cat and its confusion with that of Ollulanus tricuspis, has been given in a previous paper. Since that paper was published, the name of the family of lungworms has been changed to Protostrongylidæ by Professor Leiper; and an examination of adults of the lungworm from the cat, shewed that it belonged to a different genus from the type of the old genus Synthetocaulus. To this new genus, the name ælurostrongylus has been given.Keywords
