Abstract
J. B. DUGUID and E. M. Sheppard (J. Path, and Bact., 56, 73; 1944. See also Nature, 154, 185; 1944) described their discovery of plerocercoids of a Diphyllobothriid tapeworm in freshwater trout and sticklebacks in a South Wales reservoir and their work on its life-history. M. D. Hickey and J. R. Harris (Brit. Med. J., 310, Sept. 2, 1944) also found Diphyllobothriid plerocercoids in trout in the Dublin area, and a Diphyllobothriid adult tapeworm in seagulls and cormorants there (see also M. D. Hickey, Brit Med. J., 482, Oct. 7, 1944, and K. Unsworth, ibid., 385, Sept. 16, 1944). K. Unsworth (Ann. Trop. Med. and Parasit., 38, 213; 1944) has now published the results of his work on the life-history of the South Wales species.
