In the collection of nematodes assembled by Prof. R. T. Leiper in this department there are numerous examples of worms from game animals in different parts of the world. Amongst these the writer, in further study of the Œsophagostomes, has been privileged to examine bottles of some provisionally labelled Œsophagostomum, sp.? One lot was collected from the Roan antelope (Hippotragus equinus) by Dr. J. E. S. Old in Nyasaland, another was collected from the Wart Hog (Phacocærus æthiopicus) in Uganda by Prof. R. T. Leiper. The other bottle contained worms from the latter host collected in Northern Territory Gold Coast, by Dr. J. J. Simpson on two different occasions. A study of these specimens shows that they comprise three species new to science, and one species just recently described by Daubney (1924).
