Abstract

The helminths dealt with in the present paper were recovered from an Indian chukar, Alectoris graeca chukar, brought in for examination by Major H. O. Pugh, D.S.O., Glandyfi, Cardiganshire, on 21 April 1938. The bird was one of several which were brought over from India in December 1937, and which were kept in captivity up to the date of examination of the bird under consideration. The death of this bird was found to be due to entero-hepatitis caused by Histomonas meleagris (Smith, 1895).
