Extract

This paper reports on two species of digenetic trematodes, namely Gymnophallus deliciosus (Olsson, 1893) and Notocotylus chionis Baylis, 1928, from Sheathbills collected on Signy Island.(lat. 60° 43' S., long. 45° 36' W.), South Orkney Islands, in July and October 1965 by Mr Charles Howie of the British Antarctic Survey. The birds were preserved in deep-freeze and later passed to us for examination. An account of the cestode parasites of these birds has been given previously (Jones & Williams, 1967).
