The results are given of a survey of the cestode fauna of 1,500 fishes representing 26 species common in the straits of Georgia, British Columbia. The survey yielded only five species of adult and four species of larval cestodes. No cestodes were found in members of the Pleuronectidae and Embiotocidae and—with one exception—the Scorpaenidae, and the rate of infection in other families was singularly low.The cestodarian species in Hydrolagus colliei is regarded as identical with the Atlantic Gyrocotyle urna Gr. et Wag. The common cestode of the Pacific salmon is regarded as Eubothrium oncorhynchi n. sp., closely allied with the European Eubothrium crassum Bloch. Bothriocephalus scorpii Müll. occurred in Leptocottus armatus and Hexagrammos decagrammus, Bothriocephalus occidentalis Linton in Leptocottus armatus and Sebastodes maliger, and Gilquinia tetrabothrius v. Ben. in Squalus sucklii; a redescription is given of the two latter species. The larval forms recorded were two species of Diphyllobothrium in Oncorhynchus, a species of Nybelinia in Ophiodon elongatus, and a species of Phyllobothrium in Oncorhynchus.
