![SPECIES INQUIRENDAE. (14) Moniezia nullicollis Moniez, 1891. [Plate XYI, 3-3&.] Host.—Sheep (Moniez). Geographical distribution.—Thus far M. nullicollis has been reported only at Lille, France, by Prof. R. Moniez. LITERATURE. Moniez. Notes sur les Helminthes yi, 3; Revue Biologique du Nord de la France, T. iv, 1891, 1 page. HISTORICAL REVIEW. Prof. Moniez found two specimens of tapeworms at the Lille abattoir in May, 1879. In 1891 he described them as a new species under the name given above, giving, however, only a very short description. He states that the worms were 40cm long. The last segments were per- fectly mature and measured, in alcohol, Smm wide by 11,1111 long. They were quite thin and all the segments very short. Head cuboid, rounded in front, hemispherical in back, 1.3 in diameter. Suckers 0.65 in diameter. Heck absent, so that the segments begin directly back of the suckers. Ova 55-65/1$ embryo 21 //. At my request Prof. Moniez forwarded part of his original material. I have only the head (Pigs. 3-3&, Plate xvi), and hence can give no statements in regard to the anatomy of the segments. DIAGNOSIS. It is impossible to give a satisfactory diagnosis of this form, hence I can not as yet look upon it as a well-established species. Type with Prof. Moniez. One scolex in private collection of C. W.
