Extract

This collection of parasites was made in Cyprus between February 1928 and August 1929. Some were collected by Professor R. T. Leiper personally while on a visit, the remainder were sent to the Helminthology Department of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine by Dr. R. J. Roe of the Civil Veterinary Department in Cyprus. The two collections are here dealt with together. The hosts from which the parasites were taken are as follows:—horse, mule, pig, dog, cat, sheep, goat, hedgehog and fowl. Altogether the collection comprises 16 genera and 21 species of Nematoda: 5 genera and 7 species of Cestoda: and some acanthocephala, linguatulids, ticks and sarcocysts. The latter three are not dealt with here. The following is a systematic survey of the specimens.
