Sandars describes 4 new species of Microcotyle from gills of W. Australian fishes: M. genes n.sp. on Genes ovatus; M. pentapodi n.sp. on Pentapodus milii; M. scorpis n.sp. on Scarpis aequipinnis; M. helotes n.sp. on Helotes sexlineatus. Gonoplasius carangis n.g., n.sp. on Caranx georgianus is distinguished from the genus Microcotyle mainly by the presence of glandular organs on the anterior region of the body, and Diplasiocotyle johnstoni n.g., n.sp. on Agonostomus forsteri differs from Microcotyle in having only 7 pairs of relatively large damps and a minute terminal pair. Eggs of this species were induced to hatch in 19 days, giving a ciliated larva constricted into 3 regions and bearing a haptor with 2 pairs of anchors and 3 pairs of small hooks. The youngest worm on the gills had only 4 pairs of clamps, but had already lost the larval haptor. N.G.S.
