_Distoma ophthalmobium_, Diesing.--There is every reason to believe
that the small flukes found by Gescheid and Von Ammon in the human eye
were sexually immature worms, but since it cannot be decided as to what
adult species they are referable I prefer to notice them under the usual
title. Possibly these eye-worms may be referred to _D. lanceolatum_, as
suggested by Leuckart. However that may be, I deem it unnecessary to
repeat the details recorded in the treatises quoted below. The largest
examples measured only half a line or about one millimètre in length.

_Tetrastoma renale_, Chiaje; _Hexathyridium pinguicola_, Treutler;
and _H. venarum_, Treutler.--Whether these forms are good species or
not, the fact that they were genuine parasites cannot, I think, be
disputed. The first-mentioned measured five lines in length, and was
found by Lucarelli in the urine. The second, eight lines long, was found
by Treutler in a small tumour connected with the ovary. The third,
measuring three lines in length, was twice found in venous blood, and
twice in the sputum of patients suffering from hæmoptysis.
