Extract

In the course of work undertaken in the preparation of the experimental field plots at Winches Farm it has been of interest to ascertain something about the nematode fauna of the place, especially that occurring in certain heaps of manure made at the farm and afterwards used on some of the plots. With regard to the worms recorded from sheep droppings collected from pastures these were obtained in Baermann extractions, set up by a colleague, in attempts to collect larvae of parasitic nematodes harboured by the stock. It became necessary for purposes of differentiation to determine the naturally occurring free-living nematodes which were found in great abundance. The worms described in the following pages have been encountered in the course of these investigations. Some are new to science and about others very little has previously been known so that additional information on them is here made available.
