Title: Two New Species of Helminths from the Cormorant, Phalacrocorax auritus
Abstract: On November 17, 1947, two cormorants, Phalacrocorax auritus, were sent to Dr. Lyell J. Thomas for study. These birds were shot five miles northwest of Grafton, Illinois on the Illinois River and brought over by Dr. H. B. Mills, Chief of the Illinois State Natural History Survey. With the permission of Dr. Thomas the writer examined one of them for parasites and recovered, besides other helminths, four Opisthorchis in the liver and two pairs of Syngamnus in the trachea which are described here as new species.
