Extract

In June 1946, one male and one female helminth of the species Marshallagia marshalli (Ransom, 1907) were collected from one of two goats (Capra sibirica), at Manali, which had been slaughtered soon after their arrival from Spiti (Kangra district, Punjab, India). The abomasa, small intestines, lungs and livers of both the animals were available for examination. The lungs, livers and small intestines did not yield any helminths, but one male and one female of Marshallagia marshalli, were collected from the abomasum of one goat, and a single male specimen of Haemonchus contortus was collected from the abomasum of the other goat.
