Summary

1. Examinations for helminths have been made on 380 English partridges (Perdix perdix), 6 Red Leg partridges (Alectoris rufa), 12 pheasants (Phasianus colchicus), 3 quails (Coturnix coturnix) and 7 grouse (Lagopus scoticus).

2. From Perdix perdix 6 species of nematodes and 9 cestodes were recovered. Seven of these, C. retusa, D. proglottina, H. carioca, H. anatina, H. phasianina, R. echinobothrida and R. tetragona are recorded for the first time from this host.

3. From Alectoris rufa were obtained 4 species of helminths, none of which had been recorded from it before. They are T. tenuis, S. trachea, H. gallinae and H. phasianina.

4. From Phasianus colchicus 3 species were obtained. They were all nematodes. From Lagopus scoticus, 2 species of cestodes and one nematode, all of which had been found in these hosts before.

5. A new cestode infestation, Metroliasthes lucida, was noted in the quail (Coturnix coturnix).
