Abstract
WHILE examining the intestinal tract of Megaderma frons from the Gold Coast, I found coiled up spirally and adhering to the wall of the lower part of the ileum a small parasite about half an inch in length. On placing this under the microscope I was much surprised to find that it belonged to a class of worms (Annelida), none of the species of which have hitherto been known as Entozoa, and further that I was unable to refer it to any of the orders of that class.
